The Relationship

Electrical and electronic industry is one of Malaysia’s leading industries which covers around 24.5% in manufacturing production sector. With a continuous innovation of the Industry, inductor component gets higher demand from customer and it is good if there is a study to convince that those factors are really significant to the production as well. Meanwhile, the current costing being used is difficult to access the complete activities required for each workstation and need separate analysis to measure the un-used capacity in term of resources and cost. The objective of this work is to clarify the relationship between Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) and time driven activity-based costing (TDABC) in the electronic industry. The data collection is focused on inductor component by consiedring the historical data in 2018. MTS is used as a method to optimize various parameters while TDABC is used to measure the un-used capacity by constructing the time equation and capacity cost rate. There are 7 parameters considered which are condition of wire, condition of winding, condition of epoxy, condition of core, condition of lead part, condition of marking and condition of soldering. As a result, MTS is successfully developed the normal and abnormal Mahalanobis distance (MD). In February, the normal MD is 0.9998 and the abnormal is 15.6538 with 2 significant parameters with signal to noise is 0.1244. In addition, there are 3 parameters consistently influenced along 10 months such as condition of core, condition of lead part and condition of soldering and 2 parameters are not consistently influenced such as condition of epoxy and condition marking. On the other hand, the total used and un-used capacity of time are 257124.02 minutes and 5217031.43 minutes respectively while the total of used and un-used of cost are MYR6,296,493.10 and MYR6214807.07 respectively. Eventually, this work concludes that both methods are a great tool and feasible to be implemented in the electronic industry.

Purpose: The understanding of logistics process in terms of costs and profitability is a complex task and there is a need of more research and applied work on these issues. In this research project, the concepts underlying Time-Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) have been used in the context of logistics costs.Design/methodology/approach: A Distribution Centre of wood and carpentry related materials has been studied. A multidisciplinary team has been composed to support the project including the researchers and three employees of the company responsible for accounting, logistics and warehousing. The design and implementation of the costing model asked for a deep understanding of the different tasks and processes that should be considered. Accordingly, a TDABC model for the logistics function was developed.Findings: The cost model presented here is supported on a series of time equations designed for the logistics function which allow the analysis and discussion of costs and profitability of different cost objects namely, products, clients, distribution channels, processes and activities. The cost of unused capacity and the effectiveness of logistics processes are also highlighted in this model.Research limitations/implications: In a case study, results and implications cannot be directly or immediately generalized. Nevertheless, the proposed time equations and cost model can be easily adapted to explain other types of logistics functions and it gives the foundations or other TDABC models with more than one capacity cost rate.Practical implications: The TDABC model developed in this case study can be used in similar cases and as a basis for the analysis of logistics costs in other logistics processes. Furthermore, managers can rely on the proposed approach to analyze products’ profitability and logistics cost structure. Originality/value: In this case, different capacity cost rates were computed in order to reflect appropriately the logistics function which was presented in two different processes: internal logistics and distribution. These processes have specific resources allocated and should be measured differently. This is in line with Kaplan and Anderson (2004, 2007) who have suggested a more complex TDABC model with more than one capacity cost rate for these situations.

The palm oil industry in Malaysia is undeniably the pride of the country. However, in this plantation there are currently few issues which do not set up a time equation to interpret the variance of activities, the rate setting did not illustrate the correlation between the resources provided and the practical capacity, and the manager had no tool in place to monitor the unused capacity. In order to increase precision in the field of palm oil plantation, this work aims to develop a new cost structure. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) has been introduced because it allows time output to be efficiently assessed, the idle capacity accurately defined, and the unused capacity separately to be recorded. This provides an overview of functional tools and their associated costs as well as measurement methods and facilitates quality improvement. This work focused only on replanting field and the plantation located in Pahang. The maximum replanting capacity cost rate (CCR), with 288600 minutes and 0.106 RM / minute, was subsequently successfully developed. Finally, the manager can observe that 68358.45 minutes of utilized capacity could be used for the systematic development of replanting capacity planning.

By the 1980s, Traditional Cost Accounting (TCA) is no longer reflecting the current economic reality due to distorted information about the profitability of their orders, products, and customers. In addition, Activity-based Costing (ABC) is a costing method originally developed to overcome the shortcoming of TCA method in the era of rapidly increasing product complexity and diversification. However, it is not universally accepted because it ignores the potential for unused capacity which will be beneficial for forecasting. The objective of this work is to compare the advantages of ABC and Time-driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) by analyzing the features towards costing sustainment. The work begins by collecting data at electric electronic industry located at Pahang and the product selected is a magnetic inductor. ABC focuses on the costs inherent in the activity based products to produce, distribute or support the products concerned. TDABC uses time equation and capacity cost rate (CCR) to measure the unused capacity with respect to the time and cost. This work has successfully compares the methodology between ABC and TDABC in electronic industry. The item such as stages for cost allocation, determination of drivers, action taken for an additional activity, cost consideration for implementation, system building, system update, information given from each method, transparency, overestimation of cost, differentiation of service level, oversimplification of activities and capacity forecast and planning. It concludes that both have their strength according to the industry needs.

Automotive Manufacturing Industry usually known implementing all six sigma method and lean manufacturing. However, actual practicality in the world of manufacturing, there are a lot of factors contributes that become the challenge to the ideal of lean production line. Not exclude those factors, there is no methods to identify the possible lost cost by the factors. This research is to identify the used-and un-used capacity exist in production line that considering factors affecting the production line at real time. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is identified as one of the powerful tools to analyze the actual condition of production. Cost-driver rate is defined in Phase 3 where the highest capacity cost rate calculated is RM0.67 per minutes which involving Station 3, Station 5, Station 7 and Station 8. The least capacity cost rate is RM0.33 per minutes recorded by Station 0(Preparation), Station 2 and Station 6. Ten time equations for each station at trim line is developed. During the development of time equation, criticality of Station 7 when it became the only station affected with all thirteen factors listed can be seen as station that needed focus for improvement or target for lean manufacturing. In regards of the relevancy of applying Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing, as a whole, TD-ABC can be used to identify the estimation capacity used either over or under-used. Not only un-used capacity is identified, but result shows Station 0 is over-used by 2932 minutes equals to RM967.56. Therefore, based on the result obtained, station with over-used capacity and several stations with under-used capacity gives a clear overview to the management of the company for better investment strategy.

Nowadays, demand for magnetic components are increasing from customer to support technological needs. It is important for the producer to incorporate an accurate cost estimation to decide the best price to gain better profits. However, actual costing structure is ignored the potential of time equation and capacity cost rate to measure the unused capacity from the resources allotment. The objective of this work is to determine the unused capacity in term of duration and cost in the manufacturing of electronic component using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC). The method was developed using seven stages which are resources group identification, estimate cost of resources supplied, practical capacity estimation, capacity cost rates calculation, time equation development, determine time estimates for each sub-activity and estimate capacity cost required. As a result, in sub-activity-1, the unused time was 246,156.29 minutes which needs to be re-examined so that maximum time for productivity can be achieved and the unused capacity of cost was MYR 623,804.93 which conveys the message of wastage at the workstation. In sub-activity-3, the amount of unused time and cost was -596,400 minutes and MYR -7,006,252.43 respectively. The negative value demonstrated that the operators are overworked than normal time allocation. In sub-activity 9, the amount of unused time was -596,400 minutes and MYR -7,006,252.43 for unused cost probably the job scopes were taking more time than it should to be completed. Therefore, by applying the TDABC method, the capacity utilization and time efficiency can be clearly viewed.

Currently, Indonesia still uses tax revenue as the main source of state revenue. However, the problem occurred when for several years it turned out that tax revenues did not meet the target. The percentage of realized tax revenues compared to the tax revenue target from year to year indicates that the ratio of tax revenues did not reach the target. One of the factors causing the non-achievement of tax revenue is related to the number of employees of the Directorate General of Taxes who are still not ideal with their workload. This study aims to determine how to calculate the efficiency level of capacity costs by using the theory of Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) in the utilization of currently available resources at the Tax Service Office, Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) Pratama Binjai. The population of this research is all the executor of the Service Section and Account Representative who are in KPP Pratama Binjai. The researcher uses descriptive (qualitative) data analysis method which only aims to explain the observed facts/practices based on certain theories. This study uses primary and secondary data from KPP Pratama Binjai. The results show that through the TDABC theory, the level of capacity cost efficiency at KPP Pratama Binjai is included in the less efficient category, which means that there is still a lot of unused capacity that should be maximized from available capacity and used capacity. Keywords: Time Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC), Efficiency, Available Capacity, Used Capacity, Unused Capacity.
