Lesson 19: Cost of Production Statement

This is the Bible of the plant manager, and you don’t know anything about it? The plant manager lives and breathes by this important document. Beat plan and get promoted. Break plan and warm up the resume.

 

Do you have any idea what sort of pressure every plant manager is under? I talked to a top plant manager inside a 20-billion-dollar firm, and he said headquarters is on him every day! Control inventories and bring down costs or else. He added that the life of a plant manager is only a few years. Then it’s either get promoted because of beating plan or leaving the company because you missed it. What do you want to have happen to your customers? This video lesson covers an actual Cost of Production Statement from a Fortune 500 consumer products company. All the real numbers, so you can begin to connect your offering to helping the plant manager beat plan. So, few industrial salespeople have ever even seen a Cost of Production Statement much less ready to tout detailed connections on a sales call!  But you’ll be ready and you’ll be good!
