The Buy Option

In this chapter, you will explore building a scenario analysis tool to examine how your cost calculations change as volumes change. You will create visualizations of how the full cost changes across the different potential production volumes. 

Scenario Analysis - volume changes

Adding a volume parameter

Displaying non-recurring expenses

Analyzing volumes outside the quoted range

Recommending an order volume

Adding row-level security

Creating a Volume Parameter and Scenario Analysis

You will learn how to assess internal costs manufacturing costs - the "Make" option in the Make versus Buy. You will also learn how to communicate your results. 

Assessing the Make option

Incremental or sunk cost

Required unit capacity

Full Cost with capital investment

Assessing Make vs. Buy
