Having an accurate assessment of company expenditures is a key to staying in business. Activity-based management (ABM) is the only system that offers the tools to correctly assess the outflow involved
in a tightly knit supply chain and enables understanding not only of
the total cost of ownership (TCO), but also how these costs should be
allocated. Supply Chain Cost Control Using Activity-Based Management
discusses the competitive advantage that cost analysis and management
can bring to companies within a supply chain. Addressing a number of
strategies to evaluate the total cost inherent in a customer-supplier
relationship, this book uses TCO,
activity-based costing (ABC), and ABM to analyze and control supply
chain costs. It employs industry survey data to examine whether these
techniques are being used in real life, which factors affect their usage
in the supply chain, and whether they are producing results. Combining
survey results with game theory, the authors suggest cost reduction
strategies for competitive environments and predict the outcomes of
these strategies. This cost-effective system helps businesses remain
competitive and profitable. Supply Chain Cost Control Using
Activity-Based Management shows the importance of partnerships in
applying ABM principles to suppliers and demonstrates the positive
results that ABM can have on elements of the TCO.
