Accurate and timely information can result in better decisions that translate into the improvement of bottom-line results. The development and effective use of cost modeling as a method to understand the cost of products, services, and processes can help drive improvements in the quality and timeliness of decision making. In the supply chain community, an understanding of the actual cost structures of products and services, whether with new or nonpartner suppliers, can facilitate fact-based discussions that are more likely to result in agreements that are competitively priced and with fair margins. Further, accurate cost models that are cooperatively developed between supply chain partners can form the basis for joint efforts to reduce non-value-added costs and provide additional focus toward operational improvement. 410 0$aSupply and operations management collection,$x2156-8200. 606 $aCosts, Industrial$xMathematical models 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $acost model 610 $ashould-cost model 610 $aprojected cost model 610 $acrossover model 610 $acost of quality 610 $apurchasing 610 $anegotiation 610 $acost management 610 $astrategic sourcing 610 $aprocurement 610 $aExcel applications 610 $asupply chain management 610 $amake or buy 610 $anon-value-added cost reduction 610 $abreakeven 610 $alearning curve 610 $atotal cost of ownership 610 $anet present value 615 0$aCosts, Industrial$xMathematical models. 676 $a658.1552 700 $aSower$b Victor E$0873373 701 $aSower$b Christopher H$01157796 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910542772503321 996 $aBetter business decisions using cost modeling$92704577 997 $aUNINA
