Proven strategy for reducing production and operating costs while increasing
profits
As the growth of the Internet shifts power to consumers, the pressure on companies to
keep prices low will continue to mount. Increasingly corporations are relying on "margin
management" and supply chain management as a means of keeping prices low while
raising profits. Activity-based costing and management (ABC/M) data is key to
succeeding in both these critical management strategies. This book explains how
executives can effectively use the information furnished by cutting-edge ABC/M
systems. The author, an acknowledged expert in the field, clearly defines the ABC/M
system and explains how to use the information it provides for best results. He provides
a rational framework for understanding the fifteen key defining characteristics of ABC/M
and arms readers with an ABC/M Readiness Assessment test along with extremely
user-friendly exhibits.
Gary Cokins (Far Bingham Farms, MI) is Director of Industry Relations at ABC
Technologies, the world's leading supplier of activity-based information software. He is
an internationally recognized expert, speaker, and author.
