This document discusses costing methods and target costing. It provides examples to illustrate how target costing works. Target costing involves setting a target cost by subtracting the desired profit from the expected selling price. It aims to reduce costs while meeting quality standards. The document outlines the steps to calculate a target cost and discusses ways to close the gap between the current and target costs, such as simplifying production or using cheaper materials.
The document discusses strategies for business cost control and monitoring. It identifies major cost centers, types of costs, and opportunities to reduce costs through systematic analysis. Specific opportunities covered include reducing payroll, improving purchasing, increasing production efficiency, reviewing finances, and maximizing use of premises. The document cautions that some cost cuts can negatively impact employees or the business's ability to meet objectives if not implemented carefully.
Cost accounting tracks and analyzes costs to help businesses control expenses and maximize profits. Target costing determines the cost at which a product must be produced to generate desired profits at its anticipated selling price. It involves defining the product, setting cost targets, achieving targets, and maintaining competitive costs. Kaizen costing maintains present costs for existing products through continuous improvement efforts. Activity-based costing assigns overhead costs based on activities and cost drivers rather than direct labor hours, providing more accurate product costs.
This document defines and compares cost control and cost reduction. It discusses key areas to focus on for each, including labor, material, sales and energy. Cost control aims to maintain costs according to standards while cost reduction lowers unit costs without affecting quality. Some advantages of cost control are improved profitability and competitiveness, while disadvantages include reduced flexibility and innovation. Advantages of cost reduction include lower product prices and meeting competition, while quality may be sacrificed. The document outlines techniques for each, such as budgetary control, standard costing and inventory control for cost control, and material handling, automation and work study for cost reduction.
The document discusses cost control and cost reduction. It defines cost control as monitoring and regulating expenditure, while cost reduction aims to identify and eliminate unnecessary costs. The key aspects of cost control are planning, communication, motivation, appraisal and decision making. Main areas of cost control include materials, labor, overheads, sales and energy. Techniques for cost control and reduction mentioned are budgetary control, standard costing, inventory control and ratio analysis. The document also provides examples of requirements documentation, vendor evaluation criteria and scoring for procurement projects.

Cost reduction in automobile supply chainvrr432571
This document discusses strategies for reducing costs in automotive supply chains. It presents two types of strategies - red ocean strategies that compete in existing markets and blue ocean strategies that create new market spaces. For blue ocean products like the Tata Nano, the document discusses using target costing to determine the maximum allowable cost for each component. It provides an example of using target costing to set cost targets for the individual parts of a braking system. The document also discusses leveraging value engineering techniques like specifications changes, alternative materials, and process improvements to reduce costs for red ocean products facing competitive pressures.
Cost control and cost reduction are important processes for businesses. Cost control involves setting targets, monitoring costs, comparing actual costs to standards, and taking corrective action if needed. It aims to achieve cost standards and optimize costs before they are incurred. Main areas of cost control include materials, labor, overheads, sales and energy. Cost reduction identifies and eliminates unnecessary costs to improve profitability. It aims to improve standards through continuous, innovative measures to permanently reduce unit costs. While cost control prevents costs from exceeding limits, cost reduction begins where cost control ends by establishing improved standards and production methods.

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.
Parry Murphy and Associates (PMA) is a cost reduction specialist firm that uses proven strategies to negotiate price reductions from a client's vendors, typically achieving savings of 5-20% from over 80% of vendors. PMA's process is customized for each client but generally involves gathering data, analyzing costs, developing negotiation strategies approved by the client, and managing the negotiation process to finalization. PMA's fees are based on a percentage of the actual first year savings achieved, ranging from 20-35%, and it recommends an incentive plan for client employees involved in the process.
Saimun Hossain presented on management accounting concepts to Professor Fahmida Ahmed. The presentation discussed CVP analysis, including its concept as a planning process used by management to predict costs, sales, and profits under different volumes. It also covered the objectives and assumptions of CVP analysis, such as classifying expenses as variable or fixed and assuming linear cost-volume relationships. CVP analysis is significant for business organizations as it helps managers make strategic decisions through tools like break-even analysis and profit analysis.
This document summarizes a white paper on cost reduction tactics and profit improvement ideas. It lists the top 5 cost reduction tactics used during the 2008 recession as reducing discretionary spending, compensation, layoffs, capital expenditures, and marketing/R&D spending. The top 3 current challenges are inadequate resources to drive growth, the need to increase profitable revenues, and loss of momentum. The document provides 22 specific profit improvement ideas from companies and suggests optimizing resources, increasing revenues, and regaining momentum to overcome the challenges. It emphasizes that reducing expenses alone is not sustainable and companies need to focus on growing revenues faster than costs.
Activity-based costing (ABC) assigns overhead costs to products and services based on their use of resources such as machine hours or labor hours. It was developed to more accurately assign indirect costs than traditional costing methods. ABC identifies activities performed in an organization and assigns costs to these activities using cost drivers. The costs of activities are then assigned to products or services based on their use of each activity. This provides managers with more accurate product costs to make better-informed decisions.
