      <title>Cost Modeling in a SCM Framework</title>
      <description>
When making strategic decisions for an organization finance must base those decisions on sound information.  Many organizations deal with either profuse or inaccurate information that curtails the organization from making strategic change.  Through Armada’s Strategic Cost Models executives can understand the drivers that control the results of their decisions.  Armada’s Consulting Manager, Mike Newton, explains how cost modeling in general is critical but can provide  improved enterprise decision making when integrated in a Strategic Cost Framework.
