Cost Recovery

Know what a unit really costs, see which costs are not being recovered, and decide the pass-through, surcharge or reset that recovers them.

Metrics to watch

  • Margin Leakage & Cost Recovery

    Cost of raw materials

    Input cost by material and month against the index the formula prices on.

    Act whenUp over x% in one month, or a steady rise over a quarter

    Alerts
  • Margin Leakage & Cost Recovery

    Freight recovery rate

    Freight billed against freight paid, by lane and account.

    Act whenUnder 100% on any lane for two months

    Alerts · Against plan · After a decision
  • Margin Leakage & Cost Recovery

    Freight, packaging and indirect costs

    Freight, packaging and other indirect costs as a share of invoice, so the true landed cost is what margin is measured against.

    Act whenUp over x% of invoice

    Alerts
  • Margin Leakage & Cost Recovery

    Surcharge capture rate

    Surcharges applied against surcharges due, and the waivers by account and approver.

    Act whenUnder 90%, or waivers rising

  • Margin Leakage & Cost Recovery

    Fixed cost as a share of price

    Fixed cost per unit against pocket price, by plant and family.

    Act whenA sudden jump over x%, or a steady rise over three months

Templates to start with

  • Commercial Data & Context

    Landed cost model

    Standard cost plus inbound freight, duty and handling, effective-dated, so margin is measured against what the unit actually cost.

    Distribution, Building products, Chemicals · Uses 4 metrics
  • Planning & Scenarios

    Cost pass-through scenario

    A cost shock, the price response by segment and its timing, and the margin path in between.

    Chemicals, Machinery, Building products · Uses 4 metrics
  • Analysis & Diagnostics

    Freight recovery scorecard

    Freight billed against freight paid by lane and account, and the delivered prices set before carrier rates moved.

    Distribution, Building products · Uses 1 metric
  • Optimization

    Freight recovery optimization

    Lane surcharges and delivered-price resets that recover absorbed freight where it is recoverable and leave alone where it is not.

    Distribution, Building products · Uses 2 metrics
  • Pricing Methods

    Surcharge pricing

    Energy, fuel, tariff and material surcharges as governed line items, with applicability rules and a waiver route on record.

    Chemicals, Distribution, Building products · Uses 2 metrics
  • Pricing Methods

    Index-linked and formula pricing

    Base price plus an index at a stated lag and factor, with the surcharge that applies when the index outruns the formula.

    Chemicals, Machinery · Uses 1 metric
  • Predictive Models

    Cost index forecast

    Where the inputs a formula prices on are heading, so the surcharge and the formula move before the margin does.

    Chemicals, Machinery · Uses 2 metrics
  • Commercial Data & Context

    Freight lane cost table

    Carrier rates by lane, mode and weight break, dated, joined to delivered-price orders so absorbed freight is visible per lane.

    Distribution, Building products · Uses 2 metrics
  • Commercial Data & Context

    Index and formula price inputs

    Commodity and energy indices, currency and surcharge tables, with the lag each formula uses, as governed inputs to formula pricing.

    Chemicals, Machinery
  • Predictive Models

    Freight rate forecast by lane

    Carrier rate direction by lane and mode, so delivered prices are set against next quarter’s cost, not last year’s.
