Competition for business is fierce and pricing is tight. Lower pricing means lower profitability, right?

Not necessarily.

Most businesses use job costing tools to determine pricing, but job costing tools don’t always reflect the price

at which a business makes money. Pricing is only half of the profitability equation, but almost the exclusive tool

used by management to drive profitability. Improving profitability isn’t nearly as complicated as job costing implies.

Join us for an insightful session on how to drive dramatic changes in profitability using simple tools that can be

used by business owners and managers alike.

Who should attend:

· Owners

· Plant Managers

· Sales Managers

· Financial Managers
