Participants will learn how to apply activity-based management principles to both goods and services, understanding when this system yields the most significant benefits. Additionally, the CPE course covers the implementation of activity-based management recommendations, the importance of maintaining an activity dictionary, and the best practices for ensuring these initiatives drive corporate improvement. This knowledge empowers managers to not only improve operational efficiency but also to report results more accurately and navigate financial adversity with confidence.
