Cost Accounting

Transcript: Non Value Added Activites Activity Possible Activity Drivers Not willing to pay Moving Materials Inspecting Components Value Added Activites Number of defective units - An incentive is created for workers to increase efficiency and reduce waste. - This behavior is beneficial to the company as it helps to reduce their costs in buying materials for the product. Warranty hours - An incentive is created where workers are given a limited time to fix the defective parts and if they exceed the time limit, action will be taken. - This behavior is beneficial as workers will focus on their work and reduce waste, thus reduce the expenses of the business. Activity Value Justification Following are the 5 activities with possible activity drivers:- For setting up equipment Root Causes and Improvements Combining processes, locating work places closer. Defect-free Materials from Suppliers or Improved Employee Training. Activity Possible Activity Drivers Setting up equipment Setup time, Number of setups Performing warranty work Warranty hours, Number of defective parts Welding subassemblies Welding hours, Subassemblies welded Moving materials Number of moves, Distance moved Inspecting components Hours of inspection, Number of defective components Long set up time required. Defect Materials or Improper Employee Training. Long time for welding completion. For inspecting components For moving materials Problem 12-18 Joseph Fox Describe the behavior that each activity driver will encourage, and evaluate the suitability of that behavior for the company's objective of becoming more competitive In charge of a project to install an activity-based cost management system Assessing Value Content Inefficient Process Design. Inability to produce a good quality product Value Added Non Value Added Value Added Non Value Added Non Value Added For each activity, assess the value content and classify each activity as value-added or non-value-added (justify the classification). Identify some possible root causes of each activity, and describe how this knowledge can be used to improve activity performance. For purposes of discussion, assume that the value-added activities are not performed with perfect efficiency. 4 Manufacturing Process (Change of state). Possible to prevent warranty if production was done properly. Manufacturing Process (Change of state). Waste of time and resources for moving of materials. Only checks state of product (Change of state) Barizah Mustapa & Chua Cze Jia And also under the conditions:- setup time - An incentive is created for workers to reduce setup time up to zero. - Beneficial to the company as it reduces their costs in terms of paying the workers' overtime payments. Number of setups - An incentive is created where each worker will have a fixed number of setups. - Beneficial to the company as it improves efficiency and in a way, motivates the employees in terms of giving trust and responsibility. 1 Value or Non Value Added Activity Setting Up Equipment Performing Warranty Work Welding Subassemblies 3 Number of defective components - An incentive is created such as giving rewards so that the workers will try to work efficiently. - This will reduce the number of defective products to be produced. Hence, this beneficial behavior will reduce the costs in terms of inspecting the products. Hours of inspection - An incentive is created where there will be a limit for the number of hours for inspection for each month. - This will reduce the business' expenses in terms of paying workers to do the inspection. Number of moves - An incentive is created where the managers can plan a schedule of moving the products to the same and near-by place. - This will reduce the transportation cost in terms of fuel and at the same time, improve the efficiency of the company, thus, this behavior is beneficial to the company Distance moved - An incentive is created where the company will limit the number of kilometers drive for each month. - This will also reduce the transportation costs in terms of fuel, hence, this is beneficial to the company. Thank you for listening Change of state Change of state not possible with previous activities Enable other activity to be preformed Activity Root Causes Improvements What is the difference between an activity driver and a cost driver? In answering the question, describe the purpose of each type of driver For welding subassemblies Joseph and project committee are focusing on 3 additional implementation issues:- Identifying activity drivers Assessing value content Identifying cost drivers (root causes) 5 Welding hours - An incentive is created where workers will try to reduce the welding hours up to zero. - This behavior is beneficial to the company as it also reduces their costs in terms of paying the workers' overtime payments. Subassemblies welded - An incentive is created where there will only be a selected amount of product to be welded. - Beneficial to the company as it saves time and reduce
