Companies have more control over cost than the price therefore they maximize the value to the customer by managing its cost. This necessitated an integrated approach in cost management. I.e. At strategic as well as at operational level.

Cost determines the profitability” Companies have more control over cost than the price therefore they maximize the value to the customer by managing its Cost i.e. [Offer more value at lesser price and still maintain profitability.] This necessitated an integrated approach in cost management. i.e. at strategic as well as at operational level.

Total Cost Management – Process Identify Inefficiencies * BECAUSE as business environment becoming more & more competitive, inefficiency of one is becoming an opportunity for the other.
* Inefficiency is in terms of the non-value–adding
activity present in the system. To identify, to gauge the extent and to eliminate the inefficiency, guiding principle are ………… • “if you can measure it, you can manage it” • “ it is better to be approximately right, than to be precisely wrong” • “a structural change in the measurement systems is preferred than a temporal / apparent 10/17/08 change”hmahesh45@yahoo.com; VIM Pune 4 Total Cost Management – Techniques

Activity Based Costing - Concept
Complaint by product design manager:
“Why is it when I use a capacitor costing Rs 20 , the procurement overhead charge is 20 paise per unit, but when I use a coprocessor part costing Rs100, the procurement charge is Rs.10? Procuring and handling a coprocessor does not consume 50 times (Rs. 0.2 x 50 = Rs 10) the resources used to procure and handle a capacitor. This overhead costing approach is irrational.”

• In this method, we recognize that many activities
within a department drive overhead costs 10/17/08 hmahesh45@yahoo.com; VIM Pune 8 ABC – Process Conduct process Analysis. Identify activity centers. Assign cost to the activity center as they accumulated while pending for allocation to product. Select Cost Drivers Determine amount of activity consumed by the product. Once costs are collected by activities, they are charged to products using cost drivers.

Activity-Based Management A value-added cost is the cost of an activity that cannot be eliminated without affecting a product’s value to the customer. In contrast, non-value-added costs are costs that can be eliminated without affecting a product’s value to the customer.
