More and more organizations are realizing that activity based costing is a superior method for both identifying improvement opportunities and measuring the realized benefits of performance initiatives. ABC data helps you see that time, quality, capacity, flexibility, and cost are interconnected and also allows you to navigate through management fads and into the faster currents of high-payback performance. ABC offers a superior product and service costing technique with substantially more realistic cost assignments and much greater accuracy. It gives you better insights to manage your product design and manage costs. It can even be used for performance measurements. ABC represents a significant change in corporate systems and can be challenging to implement. Activity-Based Cost Management: Making It Work will walk you through the process so you can overcome barriers and successfully implement ABC. Activity-Based Cost Management: Making It Work doesn't just explain what ABC is, it shows you the mathematical calculations that support ABC and how you can implement ABC into your organization.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: By now, most companies know that activity-based costing, an innovative accounting system that breaks down overhead far more precisely than old-fashioned systems do, can be used to trim waste, improve service, and make better product-mix and pricing decisions. Yet the actual design and implementation of a successful ABC system remains largely a mystery for many companies. Analyzes the experiences of eight real-life companies who took on the challenge of implementing an ABC system, revealing the mistakes, successes, and ultimate triumphs that resulted in each case.

Dadurch werden Unternehmen gezwungen, ihre Preise niedrig zu halten, wenn sie weiterhin wettbewerbsfähig bleiben und ihre Gewinne steigern wollen. Die Zauberformel, für die Verwirklichung dieses Ziels heisst: 'Activity-Based Costing and Management' (ABC/M) - das sich aus Prozesskostenrechung und Prozesskosten-Management zusammensetzt. Es liefert die Daten, mit deren Hilfe die beiden kritischen Managementstrategien - niedrige Preise und höhere Gewinne - erfolgreich umgesetzt werden können. Aber ABC/M liefert nicht nur ein genaueres Bild der Unternehmenskosten, sondern gleichzeitig wichtige Informationen, um bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen, höhere Gewinne zu erzielen und ein effektiveres Kostenmanagement zu betreiben. "Activity-Based Cost Management" ist ein praktischer Leitfaden, der speziell für Führungskräfte konzipiert wurde und anschaulich erklärt, wie ein ABC/M-Modell funktioniert, und wie man es schnell und problemlos in die Praxis umsetzt. Autor Gary Cokins, ein führender internationaler Experte auf diesem Gebiet, gibt Ihnen hier die Mittel an die Hand, ein effizientes ABC/M-Modell zu entwickeln und erfolgreich in Ihrem Unternehmen einzusetzen. Verständlich und unterhaltsam geschreiben. Ein maßgeblicher und unverzichtbarer Leitfaden zu einem topaktuellen Thema.
