ABC
There are some universal truisms that apply to all businesses. The first of these is that, a business must be able to provide products and services at a lower overall cost than the competition. The second is that the inflation-adjusted cost of production and logistics must continuously decrease. Knowing the true cost and profit picture of each product is the third. Finally, understanding and managing cash flow is as important as profit. Each of these areas involves decision-making practices that have a profound impact on the organization. Cost cutting is often an area of decision-making that can start a cycle of decay if the correct decisions are not made. Cost cuts that erode the competitive posture of the company are the cause. This can result when decisions are made using traditional financial accounting data rather than control-oriented data. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) arose in the 1980s from the increasing lack of relevance of traditional cost accounting methods.
