3、<p>　　Abstract: </p><p>　　Activity-Based Costing (ABC) represents an alternative paradigm to traditional cost accounting system and has received extensive attention during the past decade. Rather than

4、distorting the cost information by using traditional overhead allocation methods, it traces the cost via activities performed on the cost objects (production or service activities) giving more accurate and traceable cost

9、 the usage of the organization resources by the 2 activities performed and links the cost of these activities to outputs, such as products, customers, and services. Each product requires a number of activities such as de

11、ectly to the product. By using the ABC system, activities can be classified as value-added and non-value-added activities. In order to improve the performance of the system, non-value-added can be eliminated. </p>

12、<p>　　Despite the advantages of providing accurate costs, it requires additional effort and expense in obtaining the information needed for the analysis. However, a proper design tool can help to reduce time used f

13、or modeling and overcome the difficulties present in designing a cost model. </p><p>　　The primary objective of this paper is to develop an ABC system for a sanitary-ware company and to compare the results o

14、f ABC with traditional costing methods. In other words, the aim of ABC analysis is to guide improvement efforts of management in the right direction by providing accurate information about activities. </p><p&g

15、t;　　The organization of the paper is as follows: In section 2, the methodology of ABC is explained. A case study is presented in section 3 to illustrate the application of ABC in a company. Finally, in section 4, the con

16、clusions and the future research directions are given. Some suggestions are offered to improve the performance of the company. </p><p>　　2 Activity-Based Costing (ABC) </p><p>　　ABC is an econom

17、ic model that identifies the cost pools or activity centers in an organization and assigns costs to cost drivers based on the number of each activity used. Since the cost drivers are related to the activities, they occur

18、 on several levels: </p><p>　　(1) Unit level drivers which assume the increase of the inputs for every unit that is being produced. </p><p>　　(2) Batch level drivers which assume the variation o

19、f the inputs for every batch that is being produced. </p><p>　　(3) Product level drivers which assume the necessity of the inputs to support the production of each different type of product. 3 </p>&l

20、t;p>　　(4) Facility level drivers are the drivers which are related to the facility’s manufacturing process. Users of the ABC system will need to identify the activities which generate cost and then match the activitie

21、s to the level bases used to assign costs to the products. </p><p>　　While using the ABC system, the activities which generate cost must be determined and then should be matched to the level drivers used to

22、assign costs to the products. The implementation of the ABC system has the following steps: </p><p>　　(1) Identifying the activities such as engineering, machining. </p><p>　　(2) Determining the

23、 activity costs. </p><p>　　(3) Determining the cost drivers such as machining hours, number of setups and engineering hours. </p><p>　　(4) Collecting the activity data. </p><p>　　(5

24、) Computing the product cost. </p><p>　　3 Implementation of the ABC Method: A Case Study </p><p>　　The implementation study presented here took place in one of the leading sanitary ware companie

25、s in Turkey [7]. It has a production capacity of 6.8 thousand tons. Like many sanitary ware manufacturers, the company includes some common processes. First stage of the processes is done in the bulk-preparement departme

26、nt which is in charge of preparing the essential quantities of bulk bearing. Recipes are prepared for each production run and according to these ingredient recipes, the bulks are prepar</p><p>　　In pressured

27、 casting department, the bulk is given shape by the pressured casting process. The process uses automated machines and has shorter cycle times when compared to classical casting department. However, the bulk used in this

28、 department must have the characteristics of strength and endurance. The output of this department is sent to glazing department. </p><p>　　Classical casting is the second alternative to produce sanitary war

29、e products. In this department, most of the operations are performed by direct labor. The cycle times of the products are longer than the pressured casting department. The output of this department is shaped and casted b

30、ulk and sent to the glazing department, too. </p><p>　　In glazing department, shaped bulk is glazed. This stage can be defined as polishing the products with a protective material from external effects. The

31、output of this department is sent to tunnel oven. </p><p>　　In tunnel oven, the products are heated over 1200 degrees Celsius. After staying in theses ovens for a period of time, the products are inspected

32、by the workers. However, some of the output may have some undesired characteristics like the scratches, etc. In this case, these products are sent to the second heat treatment where they are reworked and heated again. Th

33、e proper output is sent to packaging while the defected ones are sent to waste. Finally, in packaging department, products are package</p><p>　　Company has been using a process costing logic for obtaining th

34、e proper costing of its products. Process costing is also a widely used costing tool for many companies. This method recognizes the following cost pools: </p><p>　　Direct Labor: All workers taking place in t

35、he production are recognized as direct labor and this pool is the most common pool used in every stage. </p><p>　　LPG-Electricity hot water: These items are important costing element in casting departments.

36、</p><p>　　Packaging: This cost is observed in the final stage of the firm called final packaging. It includes packaging and shrinking of the products. </p><p>　　Overheads: This is also common co

37、st pool for all the stages in the firm. It includes depreciation, rents, indirect labor, materials, and miscellaneous costs. </p><p>　　In order to perform ABC calculations, process costing sheets are used. B

38、ecause process costing aggregates the cost in the case of more than one product, it is difficult to obtain the correct results. The correct results with process costing can only be achieved when there is a single homogen

39、ous product. After analyzing the output of bulk preparement department, it is seen that bulk prepared for the two departments are the same which brings an opportunity for the analysis. </p><p>　　Firstly, tim

40、e sheets are prepared to learn how much of the labor time is used to perform the relevant activities. Workers filled the time sheet and as a result, the activity knowledge of the processes and related percentage times ar

41、e obtained. The time sheets are edited and necessary corrections are made. While some of the activities are merged, some of them are discarded. After this stage, the wage data is requested from the accounting department

42、and labor cost of the activities are determined.</p><p>　　If the amount of the activities that each product consumes can be learnt, the product costing can be calculated by taking the sum of the costs of the

43、 activities consumed by these products. Observations and necessary examinations are done to reach this knowledge and the conversion costs are loaded onto the activities. Cost of 5 rent is loaded according to the space re

44、quired for each activity and similarly, the power, depreciation and other conversion costs are loaded on the activities according t</p><p>　　After finding the product costs of the firm, the costs obtained by

45、 process costing methodology and the ABC results of the product costs are compared. From the results, it is seen that there are significant differences between some of the product costs obtained by the two methods. </

46、p><p>　　4 Conclusions </p><p>　　ABC utilizes the activity concept and by using the activities, ABC can successfully link the product costs to production knowledge. How a product is produced, how mu

47、ch time is needed to perform an activity and finally how much money is absorbed by performing this task are answered by the help of ABC studies. </p><p>　　From the ABC analysis, it is seen that while some of

48、 the products are undercosted, and overcosted, some of them give nearly the same results. </p><p>　　In the analysis, the cost calculations of the bulk preparement department are performed using traditional c

49、osting method. When the outputs of the processes are identical or nearly identical, then ABC must be avoided to implement. Because ABC consumes lots of time, data and efforts, implementation of it has also a cost. For id

50、entical outputs, both ABC and traditional give the same results, so it is not logical to implement ABC. </p><p>　　By the help of this analysis, product-pricing decisions gain importance. Pricing decisions ca

51、n be done under the scope of these hidden losses and profits. According to the ABC results, the company will probably increase or decrease some of its product costs to gain more competitive advantage. </p><p&g

52、t;　　The costing process of the company highlighted some weaknesses of the information system, too. These problems are also expected to be fixed in the future. </p><p>　　As it is seen in this application, ABC

53、 is capable of monitoring the hidden losses and profits of the traditional costing methods. The existence of S-Curve shows which ones of the products are under or overcosted.As a further work, in the company, performance

54、 analyses are expected to be done and especially Balanced Score Card (BSC) implementations can be performed. The existence of the ABC database is an advantage for BSC applications since its financial phase recommends an

55、ABC implementation. Ka</p><p>　　The studies in literature promote that ABC is a promising method to support 6 pricing, product mix, and make or buy decisions in manufacturing companies. ABC is a fruitful are

56、a for researchers and has high potential for novel applications such as the hybridization of ABC with meta-heuristics methods as Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, and Simulated Annealing. </p><p&

67、些常見的流程。第一個流程是(容積的準(zhǔn)備) 裝配部門負責(zé)準(zhǔn)備軸承的基本數(shù)量。為每個生產(chǎn)流程準(zhǔn)備配方并且根據(jù)這些原料配方，產(chǎn)品的體積由電子系統(tǒng)控制。產(chǎn)品的體積準(zhǔn)備好后將會被送到兩個不同的部門，壓力部門和鑄造部門。</p><p>　　在壓力鑄造部門，通過鑄造工藝給出大致的形狀。這個過程采用自動化機器和傳統(tǒng)的鑄造車間相比縮短了時間周期。然而，這個車間的產(chǎn)品必須已經(jīng)堅硬、耐用。這個部門的產(chǎn)品將會送到上光部門。</p

68、><p>　　傳統(tǒng)的鑄造生產(chǎn)陶瓷衛(wèi)生潔具的第二種選擇。在這個部門，大部分是手工8操作，產(chǎn)品的生產(chǎn)周期比壓力鑄造部門要長。該部門對產(chǎn)品定形并且送到上光部門。在上光部門，定形的產(chǎn)品將上釉。這個階段可被定義為用外部防護材料來為產(chǎn)品拋光。該部門的產(chǎn)品送到隧道爐。在隧道爐里，產(chǎn)品在1200度下加熱，經(jīng)過一段時間后產(chǎn)品將受工人的檢驗。然而，有一些產(chǎn)品可能會有沒想到的狀況例如裂痕等等。在這種情況下，這些產(chǎn)品將進行第二次加熱。合格的

73、p><p><b>　　4 結(jié)論</b></p><p>　　作業(yè)成本法利用作業(yè)的概念并利用作業(yè)，作業(yè)成本法能成功的把產(chǎn)品成本和生產(chǎn)信息聯(lián)系在一起。一個產(chǎn)品是如何生產(chǎn)出來的，一個作業(yè)所需要花費的時間和最后通過執(zhí)行這個計劃獲得了多少錢都可以通過作業(yè)成本法的研究得到解答。 從作業(yè)成本法分析中可以看出，雖然有些產(chǎn)品超支，節(jié)約。但是他們中的有些產(chǎn)品幾乎得到了同樣的計算結(jié)果。<

74、;/p><p>　　從分析上看，分身部門的成本計算是用傳統(tǒng)成本法的。當(dāng)這個過程中的產(chǎn)品是相同的或幾乎相同的時，就應(yīng)該避免用作業(yè)成本法。 因為作業(yè)成本法消耗許多時間、數(shù)據(jù)和努力，它的實施成本也很多。對于相同的產(chǎn)品，作業(yè)成本法和傳統(tǒng)成本法的結(jié)果相同，實施作業(yè)成本法就不合理了。</p><p>　　借助這個分析，產(chǎn)品定價變得重要起來了。產(chǎn)品可以在這些隱藏的損失和利潤的范圍內(nèi)來定價。根據(jù)作業(yè)成本法的結(jié)

75、果, 該公司可能會增加或減少它的一些產(chǎn)品成本, 以獲得更多的競爭優(yōu)勢。該公司的成本計算的過程也突出了信息系統(tǒng)的一些弱點。這些問題預(yù)計也會在未來實現(xiàn)。</p><p>　　正如我們在這個應(yīng)用中所看見的一樣，作業(yè)成本法能夠監(jiān)測傳統(tǒng)成本計算方法隱藏的損失和利潤。根據(jù)進一步的操作， 在公司里， 技術(shù)性能分析可以進行， 尤其也能實現(xiàn)平衡計分卡的安裝啟用。作業(yè)成本數(shù)據(jù)庫的存在是平衡計分卡應(yīng)用中的一項優(yōu)勢，金融的階段推動著作業(yè)
