Throughput Accounting (Management Accounting and Finance)Kiran Hanjar
Throughput Accounting (TA) is a principle-based and simplified management accounting approach that provides managers with decision support information for enterprise profitability improvement
TA is relatively new in management accounting
It is an approach that identifies factors that limit an organization from reaching its goal, and then focuses on simple measures that drive behavior in key areas towards reaching organizational goals
Throughput Accounting is neither cost accounting nor costing
It is cash focused and does not allocate all costs (variable and fixed expenses, including overheads) to products and services sold or provided by an enterprise
Cost control and cost reduction are the two most viewed area in finance. Every corporate entity will have a specialized department to study on cost aspects. Apart from finance it is places a great role in micro economics.This presentation will helpful to university students in their study and enhance greater knowledge.

Cost Reduction Strategies:Focus and TechniquesThomas Tanel
This is a highly concentrated presentation that addresses the differences among price, cost, and TCO; what cost reduction strategies to focus on; and an overview of various techniques, as well as when and where to use them. Faced with excruciating competitive pressures, many senior C-Level executives require maximum effort from every part of their organization to survive. Today, purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management professionals must be the most progressive cost reduction oriented group in the company.
For many organizations, senior C-Level executives set forth annual purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management goals that mandate cost reductions. Regardless of the cost savings, avoidances, or containments achieved previously, you are faced with new cost reduction initiatives and objectives.
To make the goal of cost reduction a reality, we cannot focus solely on the price. We must examine the total cost of ownership to your organization, which means moving beyond the organizational environs to include suppliers, internal customers, other allied business functional entities, and external customers. By working both internally and externally with these stakeholders, cost reduction opportunities will become visible.
A typical purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will help reduce supplier prices and avoid incremental costs. A good purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce costs by lowering both costs of acquisition and risks of supply. A great purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce total costs across the board, increase service levels to the internal customer, make a significant contribution to the bottom line, seek value-added opportunities, and help to delight the organization’s customer. This type of professional also balances supply related costs and cycle time for the lowest overall cost, at the best value, while seeking risk optimization rather than risk minimization strategies.

Week 4 Overview
This week we cover Budgets and Standard Cost Systems, of the text.
There are many advantages to budgeting and some of them are listed below:
· Budgets define goals and objectives that can serve as benchmarks for evaluating subsequent performance.
· Budgets coordinate the activities of the entire organization by integrating the plans of its various parts. Budgeting helps to ensure that everyone in the organization is pulling in the same direction.
· The budgeting process can uncover potential bottlenecks before they occur.
· The budgeting process provides a means of allocating resources to those parts of the organization where they can be used most effectively.
· Budgets force managers to think about the plan for the future. In the absence of the necessity to prepare a budget, many managers would spend all of their time dealing with day-to-day emergencies.
· Budgets communicate management’s plans throughout the organization.
When preparing a master budget you will want to prepare other budgets in the following order: sales budget, production budget, direct material budget, direct labor budget, manufacturing overhead budget, selling and administrative expense budget and cash budget.
Flexible budgets which takes into account how changes in activity affect costs. A flexible budget is an estimate of the revenues and costs that are expected given actual levels of activity. A flexible budget approach recognizes that budget can be adjusted to show what cost should be for the actual level activity. Remember, as you move forward, that all costs are not fixed. This is an error that is made in static budgeting.

2. Definition A cost driver is an element that causes cost to be incurred. The cost of most items can be modeled by a major cost driver. The item can then be looked at by its cost per cost driver.
3. Example The cost driver of a casting is its weight. Castings can then be analyzed through their cost per pound.
4. Why do a cost driver analysis? Understanding the cost drivers for a type of items is important as it tells you what affects cost the most. This is the starting for cost reduction. Focus your effort on these cost drivers as they will lead to the largest savings. Can you reduce the cost driver for a given part? It will reduce its cost. For example, reducing the weight of a casting will reduce its cost.
5. The analysis Once you understand your cost drivers do the following: Plot all the items within a category in a cost vs cost driver chart You should see a trend in the data. Cost should increase relatively to the cost driver Look for outliers (high and low) Items that are above the cost trend have something that makes them more expensive: a design difficult to manufacture, a different material, etc. Look into these parts and eliminate what makes them different, it will reduce their costs. Look into the parts that are under the cost trend as there is something special about them that makes them cheaper. Learn from these parts to create best practices.
