It is the best place to start understanding ZBB costs Contents: • This document defines what types of spend should and should not be included into each package When to use: • Anytime you are unclear as to where a type of spend should go in the budget
3. Build yourself a baseline Use your last 12 months of actuals GL account codes mapped to sub package and package Cross reference with accounts payable data This will serve as a base for target setting
4. Get the correct people in position Global level: Top Global ZBB Leadership Global Package Owners Zone level: Zone ZBB Zone Presidents Zone Package Zone Entity Owners Owners Country level: Country Entity Owners Country ZBB ZBB Report ZBB Meeting
