Accurate costing of activities, processes, outputs, products, services and customers focuses attention on where and how money is made or lost, and on internal & external charging and pricing strategies. CostPerform provides the essential level of accuracy that delivers insights into the dynamics of costs and their drivers.

Our services range from simply providing training in the use of the CostPerform software together with a low key oversight of the model building as and when required, through to full time support of a client’s ABC project team over an intensive period of 2 to 4 months depending on scope, complexity, data availability, and level of dedicated client resources.

Forecasting & Budgeting

Develin & Partners are course presenters on ABC for CIMA, ICAEW, CAI, and ICAS.
Courses can also be arranged on your premises as a way to increase awareness of ABC and to gain consensus on the issues you are facing and how ABC could help.

Using our experience we guide our clients along the right path using a range of techniques such as: lean & system thinking, business process analysis, value stream mapping, zero based analysis, customer needs surveys, organisation re-structuring and overhead value analysis. We work with clients to design the approach that best addresses the issues, and then work with their teams to implement the techniques that deliver sustainable improvements.

Economic cycles necessarily mean that certain topics will be on everyone’s lips for a while and are then superseded by another issue. Working Capital improvement is always required though in periods of ‘Credit Crunch’ it zooms up the priority list. Making improvements is a combination of both gaining knowledge and insights from cost modelling using ABC techniques as well as understanding how processes work across the organisation.
