Cost management is a journey toward a sustained competitive advantage for your company. Competition today exists more between strategically aligned supply chains than between individual companies. As these supply chains look for ways to differentiate themselves, technology, quality, service and timely delivery, while critical, may not be the answer. Providing all of the above at a lower cost than that of a rival supply chain will ensure long-term profitability and survival.

Unfortunately, most organizations do not have a clearly defined approach to cost management. The answer to cost pressures is often found in reactive budget cuts. This fast paced course will provide you with the processes and tools to create a structured cost management process at your company. These methodologies have been used at several world-class organizations such as Amazon, BP, Chevron, Hewlett-Packard, Hospira, Halliburton, Freeport-McMoran, IBM, Nokia, Phillips 66, Nordstrom, LG Electronics, Schlumberger, Samsung, Shell, Talisman Energy and Unilever to save billions of dollars.

Before a supply chain attempts to manage costs, it is imperative that you first understand the costs you intend to manage.
