ABC Modeling Using SAS Activity-Based Management 6.x  (ABMO6)

Duration

3 days

Description

In this course, you learn the fundamental concepts and processes of building and analyzing multi-dimensional activity-based cost models through the use of OLAP analysis cubes, custom report templates, and the classic analytic view of an ABC model. After completing this course, you will be able to describe activity-based management concepts, identify benefits of multi-dimensionality in an ABC model, build a multi-dimensional model in SAS Activity-Based Management, perform dimensional analysis using OLAP tools, analyze the model for comprehensive results, and generate effective reports from templates or develop custom reports.
