A practical course to integrate process costing and BPR
skills. At the end of the course, delegates will be able to assess costs in
a process, calculate efficiency gains and use these to compare redesign
options.
Learning Objectives
In support of their Annual Efficiency Statements Local authorities are now
seeking efficiency savings in process costs and to demonstrate that they are
delivering savings they are increasingly adopting the technique of Rough-cut
Activity Based Costing (R-c ABC).
Also
we have found that in most BPR (Business Process Redesign)exercises
authorities need to know where non-value adding costs are currently incurred
in the process and what quantifiable impact the new design options will have
on these. R-c ABC is a tool that can give justification to any BPR exercise
and help in establishing a business case for change.
ValueAdding.com are running a series of one day training courses in support
of the National Process Improvement Project, NPIP, to help authorities
develop and use this technique.
This course focuses on the practical knowledge and skills necessary to
derive cost information for transactions and processes.
Holding this seminar in-house allows you to resolve your own specific
process questions!
The course is designed for anybody who has responsibility for improving
processes and delivering efficiency savings. They certainly do not need to
be accountants, but should be able to use their analytical skills.
Description
The sessions are:
1. The Challenge of Assessing Process Costs
2. Activity Based Costing Principles
3. A Typical Route Map for Implementation
4. Calculating Process Costs
5. Understanding the Cost Driver(s) in a process
6. Putting Theory into Practice
7. Modelling Process Changes
8. Planning a Process Costing Project
This course uses a number of exercises and worksheets to help delegates
understand the techniques and practice in a supportive environment before
going out to collect and use process cost data in their own organisation.
