True Production Costing:
Many manufacturing organizations continue to measure performance and profitability for customers and products based on standard costs created through an onerous standard cost creation process. These standard costs are augmented by variance accounting that generates an appropriate corporate net profitability but hide the true value created or destroyed by products and the purchasing customers. By examining the true actual cost of production period over period and aligning variances and indirect overhead appropriately to actual production, organizations gain a great deal of insight into true product and customer performance. Acropolis consultants have delivered numerous successful actual product costing engagements that have led to enhanced decision making for our clients. If you are a manufacturer, find out how Acropolis delivers granular insights that can help decisions makers from sales and marketing to operations identify and drive continuous value to the organization.
