Innovation Processes

The development of new technologies and innovation processes lead companies to improve their processes, resulting in new products all the time. Throughout the product life cycle, a firm incurs various costs related to the activities carried out in the pre-production, production and post-production phases. The essence of strategic management tools is to optimize costs throughout the product life cycle, focusing on the different stages. Such tools include target costing, kaizen and life cycle costing

Strategic Cost Management

This study aims to contribute to the planning process on product management. To do so it presents a integrated framework based on strategic cost management, using the methods target costing, activity-based cost (ABC) based on the product lifecycle. This proposal was structured as it follows: Phase 1: determining Target Cost; Phase 2: determining ABC defrayal to the light of the defrayal based on the product lifecycle. The research was elaborated to the light of specialized literature, from which we extracted the variables to formulate the methodology. After that, to show the feasibility and plausibility of the method we applied a hypothetical case study based on the development process of a product to the light of a course/MBA in Business Management in Institution of Higher Education in Brazil. The results were satisfactory and validated the proposal suggested. The survey findings indicate that the integrated method between ABC, target costing and products lifecycle applied in MBA Business Management is quite satisfactory.   Keywords: Framework, target costing, activity-based cost (ABC), costing based on product life-cycle, product development process (PDP);

The Cost

In order to survive in today’s competitive global business environment, implementation of life cycle costing methodology with a greater emphasis on cost control could be one of the convincing approaches for the manufacturing firms. The product life cycle costing approach can help track and analyse the cost implications associated with each phase of product life cycle. Life cycle costing (LCC) practices with traditional costing methods may provide results that have a severe deviation from the real product LCC as it focuses on the cost of materials, labor and a low portion of overheads apportioned by the absorption rate to the product. Activity based costing (ABC) has emerged as one of the several innovative and more accurate costing methods in recent years. It is based on the principle that products or services consume activities and activities consume resources that generate costs. Thus, the ABC system focuses on calculating the costs incurred on performing the activities to manufacture a product. This paper presents a LCC modeling approach for estimating life cycle cost of pumps using activity based costing method. The study was conducted in a large pump manufacturing company from India that has significant global standing within its industry. Firstly, all the activities and cost drivers associated with the life cycle of a pump have been identified. A methodology for LCC analysis using ABC is then developed and it is applied to two different pumps manufactured by the same industry and the results obtained are presented.

This paper examines the relationship between organization size, product life-cycle stage, market position, balanced scorecard (BSC) usage and organizational performance. Using financial and nonfinancial measures, the BSC appraises four dimensions of performance: customers, financial (or shareholders), learning and growth, and internal aspects. Based on a survey of 66 Australian manufacturing companies, the paper suggests that larger firms make more use of a BSC. In addition, firms that have a higher proportion of new products have a greater tendency to make use of measures related to new products. A firm's market position has not been found to be associated significantly with greater BSC usage. The paper also suggests that greater BSC usage is associated with improved performance, but this relationship does not depend significantly on organization size, product life cycle, or market position.

Cost Leadership Strategy

The principal objective of this study is to demonstrate how green quality management and product life cycle costing may help an organization gain a competitive advantage. Green quality management's influence on increasing product quality and meeting environmental criteria, as well as tracking the activities of product life cycle before, during, and after production, is demonstrated. Orienting these activities toward the production of eco-friendly products that fulfill the needs of customers, hence increasing organization's market share. We found from our study that proposed framework can help organizations improve their competitiveness. Green quality management contributes to environmental protection and the provision of high-quality products that fulfill needs and desires of green customer, enhancing product differentiation. Product life cycle costing is to determine costs of environmental activities and seek to minimize those costs, which translates to lower product costs, allowing organization to adopt a cost leadership strategy and gain a competitive advantage.

The Relationship

Successful performance of a company and its ability to handle growing competition is dependent on its capacity of implementing new technologies and making use of new methods of management. This report aims at cost management tool that enables controlling of costs through the whole life-cycle. Life Cycle Costing allows us to look at the start-up costs and the costs associated with the cessation of production, after-sales services costs and other expenses not taken into account in planned or operational calculation, see them as one unit and thereby evaluate the effectiveness of the product. Before establishing a production, calculation of the life-cycle costs is based on various factors which can be found in this article as well as the division of costs within the scope of calculation. It contains an example of calculation and accurate illustrations of process-based models of life-cycle costing from different points of view brought by various authors dealing with this topic, the usage of costing and the relationship with other calculations that are component parts of a company’s strategic cost management.
