          ABC                        Activity Based Costing     What is GRIMM and ABC?
GRIMM - Cost Optimization’s Database
 Global Rates and Information of Machines and Materials.  Used to accumulate & calculate manufacturing labor & overhead (burden) rates.
 Activity Based Cost System
 Identifies the uniqueness of each product’s processing method to determine overhead allocation, and applies the cost based on the major elements (Cost Drivers).
 Consistent and fair method to compensate suppliers for product cost.  Machine’s operating cost will remain consistent regardless of  manufacturer.
Confidentiality
 Good judgment should be maintained when discussing equipment cost between  competitive manufactures. Many machine builders request a non-disclosure agreement.
 Sensitive material should only be shared with the supplier for comparison information. Not a “one-sided” sharing process.
