The cost management system is a powerful tool for managers to understand manufacturing plant performance. It is essential for any organization to develop a cost management system to estimate the product cost and to account actual cost spent for the product manufacturing. The Activity Based Costing (ABC) system has recently attracted the attention of many companies and is considered to provide better information about the cost pattern and the relationship between resources and activities. However, a survey of earlier research reveals that there are several difficulties to estimate the true product cost due to selection of overhead drivers to activities. To overcome these difficulties Temporal-ABC has been developed by Dr. K.D. Tham. In the first part of the report, costing system implementation issues are studied through real-time case studies. Then, research has been conducted and web-based proptotype application is developed using Temporal-ABC through collaboration with a world-class electronics industry - Celestica Inc. Toronto, Canada. The developed prototype demonstrates the application of Temporal-ABC for cost estimation at Celestica.

The article is aimed at researching the essence of costs for the quality of production, their importance and necessity, the reliability of reflection in the accounting system, which will ensure the efficiency of managerial decision-making and the introduction of a cost management system at the enterprise, including in terms of costs for the production quality. Approaches to the essence of quality costs are analyzed, researches of scientists on the need for such costs in the cost management system of enterprise and the production quality management system are substantiated. Approaches to the feasibility of classification of quality costs on the basis of requests from the managers of different levels of management are considered, as well as the formation of their nomenclature and catalogue in terms of costs for quality provision and for the correction of rejects. The need to introduce a system of accounting for the production quality as an informational component of making effective managerial decisions is substantiated. The researchers’ proposals for displaying quality costs in the accounting system are examined. A generalized algorithm of the process of organization of accounting for costs of production quality is proposed, which provides for: setting tasks for accounting costs for quality; determination of objects of accounting and classification of such costs, methods of assessing the costs of production quality, system of accounts; development of a complex of documentary support. The components of each stage of this algorithm are substantiated. It is determined that the efficiency of the quality costs management system depends on reliable accounting and analytical provision at all stages of the economic process of their occurrence, accumulation, distribution and write-off.

The article presents the results of the development and testing of cost management methods in agricultural organizations. The purpose of the activity of any organization that has set itself the task of extracting profit is its growth and increasing the efficiency of its activities. As a rule, all organizations strive to maximize their profits while minimizing the costs incurred. In modern economic conditions, such an approach is possible only with a properly constructed effective cost management system. Rational use of available resources by organizations of the agro-industrial complex with proper cost management will allow organizations to be competitive in the market and carry out their activities in the foreseeable future. The subject of the study is the cost management accounting system, the object of the organization of the agro-industrial complex of the Stavropol Territory. The information base was the forms of specialized reporting of agricultural organizations of the Stavropol Territory. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a methodology for the cost management system in the agro-industrial complex organizations of the Stavropol Territory.

The purpose of the study is definition and substantiation of the main development points of assessment and planning functions in the cost management system of railway transport infrastructure. Methods used in the study include general scientific analysis and synthesis, dynamic and structural analysis of economic indicators, as well as textual analysis of regulatory documents. Such approach enables to formulate industry-specific peculiarities of cost assessment based on general theoretical concepts of effective use of factors of production. The result of this study is an author's developed approach to cost management system for railway transport infrastructure.

The focus of the cost management literature is almost exclusively on technical issues, with scant attention to its social, political and organisational dimensions. In this paper the authors document research examining the design team as a temporary management structure, with emphasis on the efficacy of the cost management system as a vehicle for attaining client objectives with respect to time, cost and quality. Soft systems methodology is used to explore the perceptions of stakeholders to the cost management system, thus developing conceptual models of the theory and practice of cost management. Significant differences were found to exist between the perceptions of individual stakeholders concerning design team participants, participants’ roles, and the very purpose of the cost management system. Recommendations are made for structural, attitudinal and procedural changes to the cost management system in order to facilitate its effective functioning in the achievement of the client’s needs and objectives.
