  4. Activity Based Management • Activity based costing focuses on: • 1) understanding the way resources are used in current processes • 2) accurately measuring product costs using those processes. • Activity based management is used by management to evaluate the costs and values of process activities to identify opportunities for improved efficiency.

  6. Shortcomings of Activity-Based Management • It pays primary attention to the cost (in dollar values) of an organization’s personal and physical resources. • Activity analyses often assume that those costs can be treated as if they were all variable. • It assumes uniformity among the human and physical resources involved in performing activities. • It is still primarily concerned not with operational effectiveness, but with measuring the cost of products (as is financial accounting).

  7. Egg Production: Industry • Canada has approximately 1,100 registered egg farms. • The average egg farm has 10,000 to 20,000 hens, although Canadian egg farms can range from a few hundred to more than 400,000 hens. • In Canada, a total of 25 million hens (including unregistered hens) produce about 500 million dozen eggs per year – that's 6 billion eggs! • The egg industry contributes about $500 million to the Canadian economy.

  8. Nova Scotia Egg Producers • The Nova Scotia Egg Producers (NSEP) is incorporated under the Natural Products Act for Nova Scotia. The act provides the NSEP the authority to carry out its mandate of effective promotion, control and regulation of eggs and pullets in Nova Scotia. • The NSEP is governed by an eight person Board of Directors consisting of seven members who represent egg producers in geographic zones throughout the province and one who represents the pullet sector. • NSEP uses a supply management system to provide a stable supply of eggs to consumers at fair prices and a fair return to producers.
