What are the benefits for attendees?


Understand how to connect daily activities with the cost trail associated to them, which is important because every cost generated by the business  affects its viability. Better visibility and control of costs associated to every activity performed during the life of an asset, in the end, tell us whether we win or lose value, and how much.  


The approach: 

An exploration on the meaning of every activity performed in a technical system, throughout its life cycle in terms of cost, and the comparison of such cost vs the benefit received from the system. 


In the task of ensuring optimal business performance, a mandatory step is to develop awareness and agility for assessing the implications, in terms of cost, of every decision, along the life cycle of a technical system or an industrial asset. 

Thi training provides a contextualización how to identify and map cost and cost elements during the costing process through the lifespan of an asset.  Also methods and tools for easing, not only the determination of cost figures, but its use to support daily decision making, are provided.
