6. Introduction
Cost management means a lot for a company. It represents how a
company maintain resources and control the expenditure in order to
create a product or produce a service, deliver it to the customer and
receive a sale. But these costs involve much more than simply the
price of raw materials or the monthly rent for store. So I develop a
report on “An Analysis on Cost Management of R.S.S Thread and
Accessories Limited”

9. Scope of the report
The report and its analysis is based on the Cost Management of
R.S.S thread and accessories.
As an intern, overall I have mentioned about commercial and financial
activities of a company (R.S.S). Information included in this report,
will help the management to identify various scopes and limitations of
the Cost management.
9
10. Limitations of the Report
• R.S.S’s website was not that much rich to collect data largely.
• Unfortunately due to the company’s limitations (business secrecy
and confidentiality), unable to acquire sufficient information.
• Lack of previous experience in preparing such formal report.
• Load at the work place in R.S.S was also a barrier to prepare this
report.
• Non-availability of some preceding and latest data.
10
11. Ethical Consideration
To complete research with appropriate research guidelines research
ethics is very important. Considering ethical aspect of research, I
have given enough time to the top level and operating level workers
and managers (respondents) of R.S.S for my study so that they can
give fair view on my research questions. The information of the report
is being used only for the practicum purpose by the consent of the
related parties.

Data Sources
• Primary Data
• Secondary Data
Research Approach
• Research Approach : Quantitative (Statistical Test Base)
(I have used quantitative research approach because it is most commonly used by the students like me
where I have conducted my research by questionnaire survey, observation).
Research Philosophy
The research philosophy is very important part of research which refers to the belief about the way in
which data about the research should be gathered. This research is based on positivism philosophy.

Type of Research:
• Type of research: Descriptive
Method of Data Collection
• Data Collection Method: Questionnaire Survey.
(It’s a set of question presented to the top level managers, employee and
operating level managers, workers of R.S.S for their responses besides it is best
suited for descriptive research).
40
41. Continue…
Population and Sampling Method
• Population: Population of my study is the existing and active Top level
managers, employee and operating level managers, workers, of R.S.S Thread
and Accessories Ltd. Total population is 160.
• Sampling Method: Probability Sampling (Simple Random Sampling). A
total of 35 Top level managers, employee and operating level managers,
workers, have been selected randomly.
41
42. Research Limitations
The main limitations of this research are:
• Time limitation.
• The data obtained in some cases may be biased.
• The information obtained from the top level managers, employees and
operating level managers, workers of R.S.S based on questionnaire survey
was assumed to be factual.
• Since the survey is based on probability sampling method, it does not
disclose the opinion of the entire top level managers, employee and
operating level managers, workers of R.S.S.
42
43. Data Analysis
Result Findings: MS Word, MS Excel and some Statistical Tools
Hypotheses Test: Z test (since sample size is more than 30)
The following formula has been followed:
We know that,
• Z test (One Tailed) =
Where,
• µ = Mean Value
• n = Sample Size
• σ = Standard Deviation
• X = Average.

• Any change in budgeting and costing method is difficult to be aligned with
company’s (R.S.S) cost management strategy. In this hypothesis 57% of respondent are
strongly agreed, 23% are agreed, 11% respondents are neither agreed nor disagreed and 6%
respondents are disagreed and 3% respondents are strongly disagreed.( Hypothesis no.06)

55. Recommendation
• It is good for the company that cost control plan is existing. But they should consider a
regular update of cost control plan.
• R.S.S should keep in mind that bench mark can be changed based on time and situation.
So it has to be revised every year and update accordingly.
• In here almost 63% respondents are agreed to their complicated internal auditing system.
R.S.S should make a digital inventory tracking system to make easier auditing and can
resolve this issue.

56. Continue…
• As the operating level management influence the budget through the top
management, so operation level management should train regarding the operation
management and strategies.
• R.S.S uses a simple cost management so it is easier for them to make everyone
understand about it. They should use simple strategy in future too and an updated
cost management training should be arranged for the functional division.
• R.S.S mainly follows international business, and in here cost is fixed from the very
beginning. Sometimes they need to change some issues for client requirement. So
they should develop a contingency cost plan to fulfill the sudden client need.

59. Conclusion
R.S.S Thread and Accessories Limited established to become a leading company in
Bangladesh. It is a new generation organization with latest machinery. It is committed to
provide high quality products to contribute to the growth of GDP of the industrialization,
boosting up export, creating employment opportunity for the educated youth, rising standard
of living of limited income group and overall sustainable socio-economic development of
Bangladesh. Though R.S.S is a very good company but In my internship period, I have found
some problem to cost management in R.S.S and I have done the research and I have given
some recommendations to recover few problems.
