What does the Production Overhead and Cost Allocation Kit include?
The kit includes over 60 downloadable files in PDF and XLSX formats, organised into sections such as Getting Started, Self-Assessment, Requirements, Models, Processes, Performance, Governance, Sustainment, Advanced Topics and Reference cards. It also provides five Platinum Tier centrepiece files - a master playbook, 90-day roadmap, implementation template, anti-pattern catalogue and outcomes dashboard - all delivered by email within 24 business hours.
Every day you risk inaccurate overhead calculations, missed cost-recovery opportunities and compliance breaches that can trigger audit failures, contract losses or regulatory fines. The Production Overhead and Cost Allocation Kit eliminates those risks by giving you a ready-to-use, self-assessment playbook that transforms vague spreadsheets into a precise, audit-ready cost model the moment you open the first file.
