The Balanced Scorecard
The scorecard measures an organization’s
performance from four perspectives:
1. Financial
2. Customer
3. Internal business processes
4. Learning and growth
13 - 8
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Learning Objective 2
Identify what comprises
reengineering.
13 - 9
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering
Reengineering is the fundamental rethinking
of business processes delivery to achieve
improvements in critical measures of
performance such as cost, quality, service,
speed, and customer satisfaction.
13 - 10
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering Example
Customers needs identified
Purchase order issued
Production scheduled
Manufacturing completed
Finished goods to inventory
Quantities to be shipped
matched against purchase order
Shipping documents sent
to Billing Department
Invoice issued
Customer payment follow up
Dallas Co. order delivery system:
13 - 11
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering Example
The following was determined:
Frequently, there is a long waiting time before
production begins in the manufacturing department.
Sometimes items are held in inventory until
a truck is available for shipment.
13 - 12
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering Example
If the quantity shipped does not match the
number of items requested by the customer,
a special shipment must be scheduled.
Dallas discovered that the many transfers
across departments slowed down the
process and created delays.
A multifunctional team reengineered the
order delivery process.
13 - 13
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering Example
A customer relationship manager is responsible
for each customer.
Dallas will enter into long-term contracts with
customers specifying quantities and prices.
The customer relationship manager will work
with the customer and manufacturing to specify
delivery schedules one month in advance.
13 - 14
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Reengineering Example
The schedule of customer orders will be sent
electronically to manufacturing.
Completed items will be shipped directly from
the manufacturing plant to customer sites.
Each shipment will automatically trigger an
invoice to be sent electronically to the customer.
13 - 15

Pitfalls When Implementing
a Balanced Scorecard
What pitfalls should be avoided when
implementing a balanced scorecard?
1. Don’t assume the cause-and-effect
linkages to be precise.
2. Don’t seek improvements across
all measures all the time.
3. Don’t use only objective measures
on the scorecard.
13 - 32
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Pitfalls When Implementing
a Balanced Scorecard
4. Don’t fail to consider both costs and benefits
of initiatives such as spending on information
technology and research and development.
5. Don’t ignore nonfinancial measures when
evaluating managers and employees.
6. Don’t use too many measures.
13 - 33

Growth Component
Assume that for 2003, Dallas produced
and sold 1,000,000 units at $26 per unit.
During the year 2004, Dallas produced
and sold 1,100,000 units at $24 per unit.
What is the revenue effect of growth?

Learning Objective 5
Distinguish between engineered
and discretionary costs.
13 - 51
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Engineered Costs
Engineered costs result specifically from a clear
cause-and-effect relationship between output
and the resources needed to produce that output.
They can be variable or fixed in the short run.
13 - 52
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Discretionary Costs
Discretionary costs have two important features.
They arise from periodic (usually yearly)
decisions regarding the maximum
amount to be incurred.
They have no measurable cause-and-effect
relationship between output and resources used.
13 - 53
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Relationships Between
Inputs and Outputs
Engineered costs differ from discretionary
costs along two key dimensions:
Type of process
Level of uncertainty
13 - 54
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Relationships Between
Inputs and Outputs
Engineered costs pertain to processes that are
detailed, physically observable, and repetitive.
Discretionary costs are associated with processes
that are sometimes called black boxes, because
they are less precise and not well understood.
13 - 55
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Learning Objective 6
Identify unused capacity
and how to manage it.
13 - 56
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
Managing Unused Capacity
What actions can management take
when it identifies unused capacity?
Attempt to eliminate the unused capacity
Attempt to use the unused capacity to grow revenue

  • 51. 13 - 51 ©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster Engineered Costs Engineered costs result specifically from a clear cause-and-effect relationship between output and the resources needed to produce that output. They can be variable or fixed in the short run.
  • 52. 13 - 52 ©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster Discretionary Costs Discretionary costs have two important features. They arise from periodic (usually yearly) decisions regarding the maximum amount to be incurred. They have no measurable cause-and-effect relationship between output and resources used.
  • 53. 13 - 53 ©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster Relationships Between Inputs and Outputs Engineered costs differ from discretionary costs along two key dimensions: Type of process Level of uncertainty
  • 54. 13 - 54 ©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster Relationships Between Inputs and Outputs Engineered costs pertain to processes that are detailed, physically observable, and repetitive. Discretionary costs are associated with processes that are sometimes called black boxes, because they are less precise and not well understood.
