Costing - The Future! A Research Overview By Rob Pease
Aims • Project Background • The Need for change in manufacturing cost systems • Addressing the Inadequacy
Paradigm Shift Vision for Manufacturing! Global World: acceptance of high speed communication. A world of : Agility, Pseudo Companies, Data Warehouses and Reverse Auctions. Traditional vision: Continue in same form with strategy for competition based solely on CI and Kaizen etc.
Cost System Development A Four Stage Model 4. Integrated 3. Specialised 2. External 1. Broken
Some Questions • Why do we allow so much obvious waste? • Why don’t we successfully undertake TPM? • Why don’t we always see benefits of CI activities?
Reason THE COST SYSTEM IS INADEQUATE!
Example 1 of Cost Issue: Compare: Tool Room vs. Buy In! • Lost Flexibility • Lost know-how • Lost I/P • Lost Skill base • Cost of machinery • Cost of manpower • Cost of consumables
Lost Sales Impact? Example 2 of Cost Issue: Compare: Cost Cutting! • Cut Advertising Budget by 30% • Delay R&D Projects • Stop Employee Travel
Changing Market Place Price = Cost + Profit Profit = Price - Cost
Non-value add but required (include sustaining costs?) Market-Defined Price Barrier Value adding core of activities Waste Profit Squeeze Profit Adapted from C.J.McNair - Taking the Profit Potential

Information Cost and Value vs.Time + Value of information £ Cost of maintaining and gathering information 0 1925 2000 Time
Plant 1 Throughput 1 million per year Product : Blue Pens (1000K) Plant 2 Throughput 1 million per year Product : Blue Pens (100K) Black Pens (60K) Red Pens (12K) 1000 variants of Speciality Pens (100K to 500) The Pen Manufacturer
Overhead • Scheduling • Expediting • Set-Ups Consider: Plant 1 vs. Plant 2 • Inspections • Material Movement • B.O.M’s to Maintain
Overhead Allocation By Unit level bases: Assume all products consume the same labour, material and machine hours Cost Distortion • Direct Labour Hours • Machine Hours • Material unit Costs Blue Pens will be allocated the same overhead as lilac (low volume) pens!
Examples of Cost Management Tools • Target Costing • Constraint costing • Lean costing

Conclusion • The Business environment is changing at an accelerating pace • The future holds challenges to the way we do Business • There are new methodologies for cost Management • Those who fully understand their costs have the best chance of success
