Exhibit 2-1 Differences in Cost Management Caused by Differences in Strategy
COST DRIVER CONCEPT Strategic Cost Drivers: 1. Structure cost drivers: (1)Scale (2)Scope (3)Experience (4)Technology (5) Complexity 2. Executional cost drivers: Work force involvement; TQM; Capacity utilization; Plant layout efficiency; Product configuration; External linkages Process Cost Drivers: ABC/ABM
Exhibit 2-3 The Management Accounting Versus the Strategic Cost Paradigm
Why Some Factories are More Productive Than Others I. A fogged window is relying on traditional accounting information: (1) Cost is distorted (2) The system measure what is spent;not consumed. (3) The system measure A. The direct effect B. The realized events (4) Measured in the nominal terms, not real times. (5) Inappropriate measurement:reduction in labor hours. capital for labor
(6) Measuring direct costs with computers, but not the indirect overhead costs. (7) Pay little attention on material productivity A. Record in dollars, not in physical terms. B. Record material consumed based on standard costs without adjusting inflation. (8) Only review the large transactions (engineering changes) but not all of them. (9) The lag on bookkeeping.
II. Research Design Time line:1973-1982 Process:5 factories Fab:4 Hi-Tech: 3/12 factories( 3 companies) TFP: Output * Standard cost 1982 Input * Price 1982 Methods:(1) Longitudinal (Time series) (2) Cross-Sectional (3) Combined
II. Factors Affecting Productivity (1) Capital investment Long-termbenefit, short-term unfavorable. (2) Reduce waste:Percentage of reject. (3) Get WIP out (4) Reduce confusion
Restoring the Relevance of Management Accounting, Hiromoto I. Innovation is key to the rapidly changing business environment. In Japan, Management Accounting is used to link with strategy for innovation. (1) Use non-financial (2) Cost allocation is used to promote automation, standardization, shortening lead time. (3) Restructure for globalization. Theme: The design of measurement & control system for continuous innovation.
II. Traditional Management Accounting: (1) Overemphasis on “Information for decision making”. (2) Overemphasis on constrained optimization.
III. New Management Accounting: (1) A behavior influencing focus: A. From information for decision to a behavior influencing. B. Integrate the behavior influencing focus with strategy. (2) From technology driven to market driven:Target costing. (3) From static to dynamic approach (4) From baton passing to team-oriented approach: Variance analysis.
IV. Four Examples: (1) TWN Common Parts (2) HeadCount Depart Products (by sales) (3) Transfer Price (4) Term Measure (No actual processing time is reported)
