Managing Costs
Be able to identify cost behavior & present costs in this manner in order to effectively plan & manage them
Activity-based management (ABM) requires understanding how the activities produce a product & affect its cost, therefore by managing the activities you can control its costs
Effective cost control requires an understanding of how producing a product involves activities & how those activities cause costs to be incurred
Activity-based management studies the need for activities & whether they are operating efficiently
Value-Added Activities
Value-added activities increase the product’s service to customers Managers try to eliminate non-value-added
activities to reduce costs without reducing the product’s service potential to customers
The value chain describes the linked set of activities that add value to the products or services of the organization
