Industrial engineering method
Account analysis method
Quantitative methods
High-Low method
Scatter plot method
Least square method
Judgment based method
1. Industrial Engineering Method
Physical observation and analysis
Time and motion study
Very expensive to implement
Seldom updated once they are done
Mostly used in manufacturing process where there is a direct link between materials and labour inputs with the outputs.
Can be applied to new processes and designs
Less useful in case of costing services
Account analysis method
Costs are classified into fixed, variable and mixed costs
Accountant uses judgment and experience to separate the accounts into two categories – Fixed and variable
Once the fixed categories are known, the monthly cost can be computed and this is the fixed amount.
The variable categories need to be further separated into categories according to the driver the accountant wishes to associate with the account
Quantitative methods
1. High-Low method:
The high-low method preselects the two points that are used to compute the parameters F ( Fixed cost) and V ( variable cost).
High point is the point with the highest output or driver level.
Low point is the point with the lowest output or driver level.
High and low point determined by the independent variable
1.Determine high and low point
The high number of moves is in May and the low number of moves is in January.
2. Calculate the variable rate for materials handling based on the number of moves.
Variable rate = ( High cost – Low cost)/ ( High moves- Low moves)
= ($7,500- $2,000)/ (500-100)
= $13.75 per move
3. Calculate the fixed monthly cost of material handling
Fixed cost= Total cost – ( Variable rate * moves)
= $7500 –($13.75*500)
=$625
4. Write the cost formula for the material handling activity showing the fixed cost and the variable rate.
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost (X)
X= No of moves
Total cost = $625+$13.75(x)
5. If company estimates that Nov. will have 350 moves, what is the total estimated materials handling cost for that month?
Material handling cost = $625 +$13.75(350)
= $ 5,437.50
6. If the company wants to estimate the materials handling cost for the coming year and expects 3,940 moves, what will be the material handling cost?
12($625)+$13.75(3940)
= $61,675
2. Scatter plot method
Plot the data points so that the relationship between materials handling costs and activity output can be seen.
Scatter point can provide insight concerning the relationship between cost and output by allowing one to visually fit a line to the points on the scatter graph.
3. Method of Least Square
Method of least square identifies the best-fitting line.
With the help of this line cost can be estimated.
Method of least square is also statistically called as regression model.

Activity-based costing (ABC) is a costing method that assigns overhead and indirect costs to related products and services. This accounting method of costing recognizes the relationship between costs, overhead activities, and manufactured products, assigning indirect costs to products less arbitrarily than traditional costing methods. However, some indirect costs, such as management and office staff salaries, are difficult to assign to a product.
Activity-based costing (ABC) is mostly used in the manufacturing industry since it enhances the reliability of cost data, hence producing nearly true costs and better classifying the costs incurred by the company during its production process.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a method of assigning overhead and indirect costs—such as salaries and utilities—to products and services.
The ABC system of cost accounting is based on activities, which are considered any event, unit of work, or task with a specific goal.
An activity is a cost driver, such as purchase orders or machine setups.
The cost driver rate, which is the cost pool total divided by cost driver, is used to calculate the amount of overhead and indirect costs related to a particular activity.
ABC is used to get a better grasp on costs, allowing companies to form a more appropriate pricing strategy.
This costing system is used in target costing, product costing, product line profitability analysis, customer profitability analysis, and service pricing. Activity-based costing is used to get a better grasp on costs, allowing companies to form a more appropriate pricing strategy.
The formula for activity-based costing is the cost pool total divided by cost driver, which yields the cost driver rate. The cost driver rate is used in activity-based costing to calculate the amount of overhead and indirect costs related to a particular activity.
The ABC calculation is as follows:
Identify all the activities required to create the product.
Divide the activities into cost pools, which includes all the individual costs related to an activity—such as manufacturing. Calculate the total overhead of each cost pool.
Assign each cost pool activity cost drivers, such as hours or units.
Calculate the cost driver rate by dividing the total overhead in each cost pool by the total cost drivers.
Divide the total overhead of each cost pool by the total cost drivers to get the cost driver rate.
Multiply the cost driver rate by the number of cost drivers.
As an activity-based costing example, consider Company ABC that has a $50,000 per year electricity bill. The number of labor hours has a direct impact on the electric bill. For the year, there were 2,500 labor hours worked, which in this example is the cost driver. Calculating the cost driver rate is done by dividing the $50,000 a year electric bill by the 2,500 hours, yielding a cost driver rate of $20. For Product XYZ, the company uses electricity for 10 hours.
The document summarizes key concepts regarding linear programming problems. It discusses:
1. Linear programming problems aim to optimize an objective function subject to constraints. They can model many practical operations research problems.
2. The document provides an example problem of determining production levels to maximize profit. It demonstrates formulating the problem as a mathematical model and solving it graphically and with the simplex method.
3. The simplex method solves linear programming problems by examining vertex points of the feasible solution space. It involves setting up the problem in standard form and using minimum ratio and pivot element calculations to systematically search for an optimal solution.
The document discusses physical distribution and transportation management for logistics and supply chain management. It describes the center of gravity method, which is a mathematical technique used to find an optimal facility location that minimizes distribution costs. An example is provided showing hypothetical location data and calculations to determine the center of gravity and optimal location coordinates. Advantages of the method include simplicity and ease of use for large problems, while disadvantages include limitations for some real-world situations.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. WHAT IS THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM?
• THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM IS A FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPT IN SCHEDULING. IMAGINE YOU
HAVE A TEAM OF WORKERS AND A SET OF TASKS THAT NEED TO BE COMPLETED. EACH
WORKER HAS VARYING SKILLSETS AND EFFICIENCIES WHEN IT COMES TO EACH TASK. THE
ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM HELPS US DETERMINE THE OPTIMAL WAY TO ASSIGN THESE TASKS TO
WORKERS, ENSURING THAT THE TOTAL COST (TIME, MONEY, ETC.) OF COMPLETING ALL TASKS
IS MINIMIZED. HERE, WE HAVE TWO KEY CONSTRAINTS: EACH WORKER CAN ONLY HANDLE
ONE TASK AT A TIME, AND EACH TASK CAN ONLY BE ASSIGNED TO ONE WORKER.
• THE CELLS IN THE TABLE CONTAIN NUMBERS, REPRESENTING THE COST OF EACH WORKER
COMPLETING EACH JOB]
* AN OPTIMIZATION PROBLEM IN SCHEDULING.
* INVOLVES ASSIGNING RESOURCES (PEOPLE, MACHINES) TO TASKS.
* GOAL: MINIMIZE TOTAL COST (OR MAXIMIZE TOTAL PROFIT) OF ASSIGNMENTS.
* EACH RESOURCE CAN ONLY BE ASSIGNED ONE TASK.
* EACH TASK CAN ONLY BE ASSIGNED TO ONE RESOURCE.
3.
4. UNDERSTANDING THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM
• THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM ARISES IN VARIOUS BUSINESS SCENARIOS. IMAGINE A
TEAM OF WORKERS AND A SET OF PROJECTS. EACH WORKER HAS DIFFERENT
SKILLSETS AND EXPERIENCE LEVELS, IMPACTING THE COST (TIME, MONEY) OF
COMPLETING EACH PROJECT. THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM HELPS US DETERMINE
THE OPTIMAL ASSIGNMENT OF WORKERS TO PROJECTS, ENSURING THE TOTAL
COST OF COMPLETING ALL PROJECTS IS MINIMIZED.
* THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM INVOLVES ALLOCATING A FIXED NUMBER OF
RESOURCES TO A SIMILAR NUMBER OF TASKS.
* EACH RESOURCE CAN ONLY BE ASSIGNED ONE TASK, AND EACH TASK CAN BE
ASSIGNED TO ONLY ONE RESOURCE.
* THE OBJECTIVE IS TO MINIMIZE THE TOTAL COST ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
ASSIGNMENTS.
5. APPLICATION AREAS OF ASSIGNMENT
PROBLEM
• HOUGH ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM FINDS APPLICABILITY IN VARIOUS DIVERSE
• BUSINESS SITUATIONS, WE DISCUSS SOME OF ITS MAIN APPLICATION AREAS:
• (I) IN ASSIGNING MACHINES TO FACTORY ORDERS.
• (II) IN ASSIGNING SALES/MARKETING PEOPLE TO SALES TERRITORIES.
• (III) IN ASSIGNING CONTRACTS TO BIDDERS BY SYSTEMATIC BID-
• EVALUATION.
• (IV) IN ASSIGNING TEACHERS TO CLASSES.
• (V) IN ASSIGNING ACCOUNTANTS TO ACCOUNTS OF THE CLIENTS
6. STEPS OF THE HUNGARIAN METHOD
• A FLOWCHART WITH A START BOX LABELED
• "STEP 1: REDUCE THE COST MATRIX" AND AN END BOX LABELED "OPTIMAL ASSIGNMENT FOUND." IN
BETWEEN, THERE ARE SEVERAL DIAMOND-SHAPED DECISION BOXES AND RECTANGULAR BOXES WITH
INSTRUCTIONS. THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDE SUBTRACTING MINIMUM VALUES FROM ROWS AND
COLUMNS, DRAWING LINES TO COVER ZEROS, CHECKING FOR OPTIMALITY, AND ADJUSTING THE
MATRIX]
• * THE HUNGARIAN METHOD IS A SYSTEMATIC ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING THE ASSIGNMENT
PROBLEM.
• * IT WORKS BY ITERATIVELY REDUCING A COST MATRIX THAT REPRESENTS THE COST OF ASSIGNING
EACH RESOURCE TO EACH TASK.
• * HERE'S A SIMPLIFIED OVERVIEW OF THE STEPS:
• * STEP 1: REDUCE THE MATRIX: SUBTRACT THE MINIMUM VALUE IN EACH ROW FROM ALL
ELEMENTS IN THAT ROW. REPEAT FOR EACH COLUMN.
• * STEP 2: IDENTIFY MINIMUM NUMBER OF LINES: DRAW HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES TO
COVER ALL ZEROS IN THE MATRIX USING THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF LINES.
7.
8. STEPS OF THE HUNGARIAN
METHOD
• * STEP 3: IDENTIFY THE NUMBER OF LINES: IF THE
NUMBER OF LINES EQUALS THE MATRIX DIMENSION
(NUMBER OF ROWS/COLUMNS), AN OPTIMAL SOLUTION
IS FOUND.
• * STEP 4: CREATE ZEROES COVERING LINES: IF NOT,
ADJUST THE MATRIX BY SUBTRACTING THE MINIMUM
UNCOVERED VALUE FROM UNCOVERED ELEMENTS AND
ADDING IT TO ELEMENTS COVERED BY EXACTLY TWO
LINES.
• * STEP 5: TEST FOR OPTIMALITY AND ADJUST: REPEAT
STEPS 2-4 UNTIL AN OPTIMAL SOLUTION IS FOUND,
WHICH IDENTIFIES THE MINIMUM COST ASSIGNMENTS
FOR ALL RESOURCES.
9. APPLICATION OF THE
HUNGARIAN METHOD
• THE ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM CAN BE APPLIED TO VARIOUS
REAL-WORLD SCENARIOS. HERE, A DELIVERY COMPANY
WANTS TO OPTIMIZE THEIR DELIVERY SCHEDULE. EACH
DRIVER'S EXPERIENCE IN A ZONE TRANSLATES TO A
DIFFERENT DELIVERY TIME (COST). THE HUNGARIAN
METHOD CAN HELP ASSIGN DRIVERS TO ZONES,
MINIMIZING THE TOTAL DELIVERY TIME ACROSS ALL
ZONES A DELIVERY TRUCK WITH A COMPANY LOGO
PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.
• A DELIVERY DRIVER IN A UNIFORM IS WALKING TOWARDS
A HOUSE CARRYING A PACKAGE]
• COMPANY HAS 4 DELIVERY DRIVERS AND 4 DELIVERY
ZONES.
• * EACH DRIVER HAS VARYING EXPERIENCE LEVELS IN
EACH ZONE, AFFECTING DELIVERY TIME (COST).
• * THE COMPANY WANTS TO ASSIGN DRIVERS TO ZONES
