Workshops

Join Us – Upcoming Workshops:

It all boils down to this:  every company using these techniques taught in this workshop is earning higher profits than they did before.

Students of this workshop will establish production centers, create the necessary budgets, and construct a complete set of costing and pricing machine hour rates for a small fictitious folding carton company (although these techniques will work for any company that sells machine time). When students return home, they will have learned every tool necessary for implementing successful profit planning practices in their workplaces.

Profit Planning Workshop

Perfect for financial managers, sales managers, estimators, and cost accountants from folding carton, corrugated, commercial printing, flexible, label, and contract packaging companies, in this two-day intensive workshop, students will create the necessary budgets and construct a complete set of Machine Hour Rates for costing and pricing.

Participants will also learn how to:

  • Create a profit plan
  • Determine the true cost of labor
  • Estimate a production center’s hours, downtime, and efficiency
  • Develop machine hour rates for cost and pricing
  • Monitor profitability by order
  • Construct variable and fixed overhead budgets
  • Earn 14 hours towards your CPE

The Insomniac Converter’s Handbook will be mailed to all students prior to the workshop and participants will return home with detailed instructions and every tool necessary on how to implement profit planning in their own plants. If the state of the union is making you think twice about discretionary expenses like this workshop, you’ll be glad to know that every single company using these techniques is earning higher profits. The return on your investment will be measured in months, not years.

Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits available for attending this workshop.
