Chinese, duration 1 day

Objectives and Content

The methods of cost structure analysis include the analysis of types of costs, cost behavior and break-even analysis. Especially the last three years have shown us that the days of cheap raw material, energy sources, and logistics costs are gone. These changes directly threaten the profitability of companies. Each method focuses on a different part of a company’s business activity in order to determine how efficiently and effectively the company completes activities. Common cost types include fixed costs, variable costs and marginal costs, sunk costs, and opportunity costs. To ensure that your company stays competitive, your staff needs to continuously improve the processes and relentlessly evaluate these cost types.
