SAS Cost and Profitability Management Training Course and Workshop in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata

This Modeling Cost Using SAS Cost and Profitability Management training course teaches the fundamental concepts and processes of building and analyzing multi-dimensional activity-based cost models through the use of OLAP analysis cubes, custom report templates, and the classic analytic view of an ABC model.

By attending Modeling Cost Using SAS Cost and Profitability Management workshop, delegates will learn to:

Describe activity-based costing (ABC) methodology
Use SAS Cost and Profitability Management 8.X software for modeling, OLAP analysis, what-if analysis, and model updating
Construct a model
Import and export model data for backup and relocation
Perform dimensional analysis using online analytical processing (OLAP) techniques
Use surveys to conduct model updates
Create what-if scenarios to visualize the effect of possible changes made in the model.

The Modeling Cost Using SAS Cost and Profitability Management class is ideal for:

Managers, analysts, and model builders
