Complexity Management
Complexity in product range and customer breadth - selling lots of different products and product variants to many different customers - often goes hand in hand with poor profit performance. One of the major reasons for this shortfall is the shortcomings of traditional costing systems in complex environments. Where customer needs are diverse and the potential to innovate high, the inevitable result will be the creation of new products and the addition of new customers. The management of this added complexity adds to the growth of indirect costs. By incorporating advanced costing techniques in your strategic decision-making process, business complexity can be corralled and financial performance improved.
