A process for determining object level profitability includes the steps of
(1) preparing information to be accessed electronically, (2) establishing
rules for processing the prepared information, (3) calculating at least
one marginal value of profit using established rules as applied to a
selected set of prepared information, (4) calculating a fully absorbed
value of profit adjustment using established rules as applied to the
selected set of prepared information, and (5) combining the at least one
marginal value of profit and fully absorbed value of profit adjustment to
create a measure for object level profitability. The inventive process
gives management profit measures tailored to its need for accurate
decision oriented profit information required to manage a large
organization based on profit measurement.
