Kurzbeschreibung
In the classroom, activity-based costing (ABC) looks like a great way to manage a company's limited resources. But executives who have tried to implement ABC in their organizations on any significant scale have often abandoned the attempt in the face of rising costs and employee irritation. "Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing" is the solution to the problems associated with large-scale ABC implementation. In this book, Kaplan and Anderson offer a revised model where managers can estimate the resource demands imposed by each transaction, product, or customer, rather than rely on time-consuming and costly employee surveys. In their new model, Kaplan and Anderson focus on the two parameters managers need to estimate: how much it costs per time unit to supply resources to the business activities (the total overhead expenditure of a department divided by the total number of minutes of employee time available) and how much time it takes to carry out one unit of each kind of activity (as estimated or observed by the manager). Rather than endlessly updating and maintaining ABC data, this book with allow managers to spend their time addressing the deficiencies the model reveals: inefficient processes, unprofitable products and customers, and excess capacity. Kaplan and Anderson lead the discussion of Time-Driven ABC in the first seven chapters, followed by individual cases studies of actual implementations by Acorn consultants in diverse settings.

A useful model for some businesses
24. Februar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Activity-based costing was introduced in the 1980s to correct the inaccurate allocation of overhead from standard cost systems, but activity-based costing systems were expensive to build, complex to sustain, and difficult to modify, according to Robert Kaplan and Steven Anderson in this book. According to the authors, Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing is simpler, cheaper and more powerful.
The authors' costing model assigns resource costs directly to resource objects. Firstly, a capacity cost rate is calculated for each department or process, being the total cost of the resources used by the department or process divided by the time available from the employees conducting the work. Secondly, an estimate is made of the demand for resource capacity that each cost object requires. This makes it very easy to see how much it costs to serve a particular customer, or how much excess capacity there is in a department.
The value to a business in implementing a system of the type advocated by the authors will depend on the extent to which the activities of the business consist of standard processes and the extent of benefits gained from knowing the cost of serving individual customers. The system might be better suited to a manufacturing firm, in which the time taken for each process can be estimated accurately, than to a law firm, where the mysterious activities engaged in by attorneys might defy rational measurement.
In my opinion the main value of the book is in the first few chapters where the principles of the system are explained. The last half of the book contains a number of case studies which are likely to be of interest only to those who have businesses similar to one or more of those described in the case studies.

Comprehensive guide
25. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Activity-based costing can provide important insights; however, it also can be complex and difficult to implement and sustain. Time-driven activity-based costing more straightforwardly uses time as the primary metric for assessing costs, since almost all costs have a time dimension. Robert S. Kaplan and Steven R. Anderson provide a thorough, if highly technical, introduction to time-driven activity-based costing. Chapter by chapter, they show readers how to estimate process times, calculate capacity cost ratios, and plan and implement a TDABC system. Their detailed case studies illustrate the benefits of this clear, sophisticated tactic for budgeting, cost management, process improvement, benchmarking and acquisition evaluations. getAbstract thinks their book will be important to any executive, manager or academician who must understand operational costs.

New ABC Paradigm
4. September 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is the book that I have been waiting for a long time. It addresses the major issues about the calculation of the resource drivers. Because it is based on linear regression model, it has a more scientific base than the previous ABC method. It can also be easily integrated into dynamic Activity-Based Costing Simulation model.
