Overview
Predictive Cost Model (PCM) develops robust “should cost’’ models that provide predictive, actionable analytics to identify cost reduction opportunities of 20–50%. It uses advanced Excel tools for category sourcing project delivery, where the model is customized based on factors such as volumes or manufacturing processes. PCM also provides insights that cross-functional teams can use to address each cost driver and identify trade-offs to create sustainable cost advantage.
