Processing loans in the back-office (row 26) is the second-largest cost item with over a 100 million in costs. In the example above we can also see that the costs of retail banking staff are comprised mainly of wages and social costs (row 5, 80,5%), and that staff managers (row 4, 5,5%) and workplace (row 13, 5,4) battle for the second position. From here on, the cost analysis can continue, in this case with CostPerform&#8217;s drill down cost analysis tool.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ba014c elementor-align-left jsc-button elementor-mobile-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8ba014c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#download\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-arrow-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download brochure<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a10625f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a10625f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Drill down<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d54037 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d54037\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlright: since we have seen that staff managers make up a significant part of the costs of the new loans, it makes sense to check where the costs of those managers are flowing to.

In this case by asking yourself if it\u2019s logical that most of the time and costs are spent on back-office. And what about the products? Etcetera, etcetera. But knowing where the costs end up doesn\u2019t automatically tell you what the cost drivers are in your cost model. In every part and aspect of your cost model, CostPerform can tell you what the most important drivers are. In the example below, you see a cost analysis of the total costs of the back-office broken down by cost driver. As you can see, the volume of the new client accounts and the number of client mutations determine 55% of costs. This means that any process improvement here creates huge benefits.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #009dff;\">Note:<\/span> Roll-up and Drill-down are two of CostPerform\u2019s many unique cost analysis tools.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe5645e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"fe5645e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-3823 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"fe5645e\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"cost-analysis-back-office\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"Print screen cost analysis back office\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzgyOCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5jb3N0cGVyZm9ybS5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjBcLzA0XC9jb3N0LWFuYWx5c2lzLWJhY2stb2ZmaWNlLnBuZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImZlNTY0NWUifQ%3D%3D\" href='https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office.png'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Print screen cost analysis back office\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-3828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office.png 1680w, https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office-768x311.png 768w, https:\/\/www.costperform.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cost-analysis-back-office-1536x622.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-3828'>\n\t\t\t\tPrint screen cost analysis back office\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42f7bfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"42f7bfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The conclusion on cost analysis<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fbd05d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fbd05d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Cost analysis is vital for any company or organization that wants to keep its costs as low as possible and outperform the competition.
