The paper aims to use throughput accounting as an approach for developing cost accounting systems in the modern manufacturing environment to evaluate the organization performance. The sample consists of (60) persons in organization for examining the hypotheses. The findings show that information provided by throughput accounting helps in measuring costs and evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of performance in the organization. This approach supports planning and control processes to maximize throughput and reduce inventory levels. The use of Throughput Accounting under the Theory of Constraints leads to finding solutions to bottlenecks that affect the efficiency and effectiveness of performance.

This paper proposes the use of information system models of production as a tool to achieve rationalization and integration goals and to create a learning organization. It is shown that through use of these models it is possible to identify cost-benefit ratios for various rationalization and modernization tasks, and to create an action plan for their implementation. The proposed production information model aims at reducing every job into its smallest elements in the form of processes and activities as well as rationalizing the subjective concepts of complexity, size, quality, etc. through the use of metrics. The paper also discusses the increasing reality variance of accounting systems and proposes the introduction of single-factor and total-factor productivity for correct evaluation of operating performances and of investment decisions. While the model is generic enough to cover all eventualities, its application to specific yards requires additional tailoring to reflect the effects of layout, facilities, organization and labor resources on the yard performance. The paper suggests that adoption of such models avoids subsystem optimization or importation of methods and techniques which might have been successful in some other operation and yet may not be appropriate in given circumstances.

The prediction and estimation software risks ahead have been key predictor for evaluating project performance. Discriminating risk is vital in software project management phase, where risk and performance has been closely inter-related to each other. This chapter aims at hybridization of fuzzy multi-criteria decision making approaches for building an assessment framework that can be used to evaluate risk in the context of software project performance in following dimensions: 1) user, 2) requirements, 3) project complexity, 4) planning and control, 5) team, and 6) organizational environment. For measuring the risk for effectiveness of project performance, we have integrated Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) and Fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) approaches. Moreover the fusion of FMCDM and TOPSIS has not been adequately investigated in the exiting studies.

A manufacturing planning and control (MPC) system is a major part of the infrastructure used by a firm to enhance its competitive position. Although a clear understanding of the mechanics and benefits of alternative MPC systems exists, very little is known about the relationships between such systems, the strategic environment faced by the user‐firms, and their performance in achieving cost/competitive advantage. Historically, the choice of an MPC system appears to have been made based solely on available in‐house expertise, industry trends, or plain inertia. Reports a summary of the results of a survey conducted to explore empirically the relationship between the environmental characteristics faced by the manufacturing function and manufacturing performance of firms using alternative MPC systems. Presents the results of an analysis of the environment faced by best and worst performers using different MPC systems. The results indicate key linkages between the MPC systems, environment, and performance.

ABSTRACTBudgeting is an important tool used by the management in carrying out the functions of planning and control, no exception to public sector organizations and government. The Indonesian government continues to implement the best practices of budgeting, one of which is through the implementation of performance-based budgeting.In a performance-based budgeting, the budget is prepared by formulating outputs or outcomes to be achieved. This formulation is done by the respective ministries/agencies in accordance with the functions of their respective organizations. All information related to the performance of then integrated into a document Work Plan and Budget-Ministry/Agency (RKA-K/L) as the basis of discussion of the budget document by the legislative board. However, in practice, ministries/agencies have not been able to compile performance information appropriately. The quality of outputs and outcomes compiled considered not in accordance with the strategic objectives and functions of the ministries/agencies concerned. Another problem related to budgeting is improper planning which led to the absorption of current year's budget to less than optimal. Through this paper, researchers will present problems related to the issue of the budget that comes from the weakness of the architecture and performance information on the ministries/agencies. Responding to the challenges of the need of better budgeting, the government began compiling Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) to improve the application of performance-based budgeting approach before. ADIK implementation on Financial Training Center of Makassar gives an overview effort of applying this new architecture. It is expected the new budgeting architecture implemented during Fiscal Year 2016 increases the optimum benefits. Keywords: budgeting, performance-based budgeting, performance information, ADIK. ABSTRAKPenganggaran merupakan alat penting bagi manajemen organisasi, tidak  terkecuali organisasi sektor publik, dalam menjalankan fungsi perencanaan dan pengendalian. Instansi pemerintah terus berupaya mengelola praktik terbaik penganggaran, salah satunya adalah melalui penganggaran berbasis kinerja (PBK).Dalam PBK, anggaran disusun dengan merumuskan output atau outcome yang hendak dicapai. Perumusan ini dilakukan oleh kementerian/lembaga sesuai dengan fungsi organisasi masing-masing. Seluruh informasi kinerja diintegrasikan menjadi sebuah dokumen Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Kementerian Negara/Lembaga (RKA- K/L) sebagai dokumen dasar pembahasan anggaran dengan badan legislatif. Namun pada praktiknya, kementerian/lembaga belum mampu menyusun informasi kinerja dengan tepat. Kualitas output dan outcome yang disusun belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan sasaran strategis dan fungsi kementerian/lembaga yang bersangkutan. Masalah itu terkait erat dengan perencanaan yang kurang baik sehingga penyerapan anggaran kurang tepat sasaran.Melalui tulisan ini, dipaparkan isu permasalahan terkait anggaran yang bersumber dari lemahnya bangunan informasi kinerja pada kementerian/lembaga. Menjawab tantangan penganggaran yang lebih baik, pemerintah mulai menyusun Arsitektur dan Informasi Kinerja (ADIK) untuk mempertajam penerapan PBK. Penerapan ADIK pada Balai Diklat Keuangan Makassar memberikan gambaran upaya penerapan arsitektur yang baru ini. Diharapkan arsitektur penganggaran baru yang diimplementasikan mulai Tahun Anggaran 2016 ini meningkatkan manfaat penganggaran yang lebih optimal. Kata kunci: anggaran, PBK, informasi kinerja, ADIK.

Material inventory management is one part of the logistics system devoted to project implementation on material procurement as per the needs plan procurement management is a very important material function, since the material inventory for a construction project involves a considerable investment cost. In general, every construction project involves complex activities, which involves the sharing of activities and operations. Material acquisition activities require good planning and control considering the large percentage of material costs to the total cost of the project. So if less effective material handling will result in loss of time, cost and quality. then this should receive high attention from contractors for the smooth and performance to be achieved in the implementation of construction projects.

Demand for mental healthcare increases. Simultaneously, the need for more patient oriented processes increases and the market develops towards more competition among providers and organizations. As a result of these developments, mental healthcare organizations are becoming more aware of efficiency and effectiveness. Often, they choose to transform to more process oriented organizations, which require changes in planning and control systems and information technology (IT). However, little is known about the required planning and control systems and IT for mental healthcare.

PurposeTurnaround maintenance (TAM) is a planned stoppage of production for conducting a comprehensive maintenance of equipment or plant with the purpose of improving plant availability and performance. The purpose of this paper is to investigate trends in the operation and management of TAM, as reported in the literature, and identify gaps, in the context of a system approach that views a plant as part of a network of a supply chain.Design/methodology/approachThis literature review is based on over 80 subject-relevant papers and uses content analysis. The literature subjects are classified into several managerial areas that include organization, planning, scope and risk analysis, execution, performance measurement and learning. The gap in the literature is identified in light of the proposed system view for TAM.FindingsThe system view of TAM opens new opportunities for new research areas for improving the operation and management of TAM. These areas include optimizing TAM scheduling and developing methods for managing risks along the entire business supply chain. In addition, new approaches for collaboration, sharing knowledge, best practices and expertise within the supply chain become necessary for effective TAM planning and control.Originality/valueThis paper reviews the literature and provides a new classification of TAM. It adopts the system view for TAM that has brought new insights in the operation and management of TAM. New trends for research in the area of TAM are identified.
