The article analyzes the problem of formation of a single, effective and universal methodological approach to cost management of an industrial enterprise as an important aspect for its success in the competitive domestic markets of Ukraine and in the conduct of foreign economic activity in the world market. The necessity of a clear understanding of the economic essence of the category "costs" is revealed and it is determined that the category "costs" is all the resources and factors of production that require accounting, expressed in monetary form, as well as used in the process of economic activity to obtain a financial result and necessary for its analysis, management decision – making, and is an internal price-forming factor. We systematize the components of the concept of "expenses". The approaches to the concept of the economic essence of costs in General covers all spheres of activity and summarizes the types of costs inherent in the enterprises of the industrial complex. The proposed definition of the category "costs" will improve the efficiency of their management; strengthen the control of their consumption; identify reserves to improve performance; improve the organization and methodology of cost accounting at the industrial enterprise. Negative factors of influence on financial and economic activity of industrial enterprises are also allocated and it is proved that efficiency of actions for reduction of expenses depends on degree of their coordination with tasks of activity and development of the enterprise. Built a mechanism for the distribution functions of the system management costs of industrial enterprises and revealed that the distribution of functions and objectives of the cost management system must be implemented in concert with management functions of an industrial enterprise. It is concluded that the cost management system of an industrial enterprise is a complex of related elements and relations in the enterprise management system, which, due to the rational use of its resources, ensure its stable functioning. Each individual element performs the corresponding functions and tasks of the cost management system. The effectiveness of the functions and tasks of the cost management system depends on the degree of feedback from the control of the cost management activities of the enterprise to its planning.

The article highlights the key problems of effective cost management at the agro-industrial complex enterprises. The conceptual model of effective interaction between elements of the cost management system is provided and the algorithm of implementation of the cost management system at the agro-industrial complex enterprises is justified. The article unfolds the specifics of the arrangement of management accounting as a key element of the cost management system at the agricultural enterprises and presents the optimal system of accounts of management accounting and their interaction with the accounts of classical management accounting. The issues of development of internal standards of the cost management system at the agricultural enterprises and the concept of cost accounting by responsibility centres are highlighted. The task of such accounting is rather assistance in the arrangement of self-control of managers than control itself. Therefore, the main purpose of accounting for the responsibility centres is to assist management staff at various levels in compiling reports on the implementation of budgets (plans, programs, projects) and evaluation of performance. The article draws attention to the importance of classifying the costs of agroindustrial complex enterprises both for the assessment of stocks and determination of the financial result, as well as for management decisions and control. A large focus is concentrated on the peculiarities of calculating the cost price of agricultural products as one of the factors of production efficiency. The importance of establishing a system of budgeting and monitoring the implementation of budgets is emphasized. Finally, it is noted that the cost management process is reduced to such basic types of analytical work as the allocation of responsibility centres, cost classification, arrangement of accounting, cost planning and costing.

The research subject is the cost management system of an industrial enterprise. The purpose of the article is the theoretical substantiation of the methodical aspects of the cost management system as a part of the industrial enterprise management system. Each company pays attention to the formation of costs because they affect the financial results. The improvement of the enterprise management system in modern economic conditions will not be effective without the establishment of a functional efficient cost management system, the formation of which is advisable to implement using both domestic and international practices. However, not every Ukrainian industrial enterprise has an efficient cost management system that optimizes the level of costs. Methodology. The empirical and theoretical methods such as analysis and synthesis, logical approach, interpretation, modelling, and visual systematization using the graphical method have been used in the work. The article considers the place of the cost management system in the management system of an industrial enterprise. There has been shown the influence of the cost management system on the strategic and tactical purpose of the enterprise. Subsystems of the cost management system have been considered and their components have been disclosed. Functions of the cost management system have been presented and the value of each subsystem element has been considered. The structure of the cost management system in the enterprise management system is clearly represented. Practical implications. An efficiently operating cost management system cannot only be aimed at an enterprise’s surviving in today’s market conditions. It should facilitate the implementation of tactical and strategic enterprise goals. As tactical goals, we can note the growth of enterprise profitability. The enterprise strategic goal in a market environment is to increase its value. However, the efficient cost management is a rather complicated process, because costs are variable and consist of numerous elements of different content and origin depending on various factors that are sensitive to the external environment, often have a controversial composition and are hardly subjected to the desired regulation. Value/originality. The system approach has revealed the dual nature of the company’s cost management system. On the one hand, the enterprise cost management system is a subsystem of the enterprise management system. On the other hand, the cost management system can be considered as an independent system, which includes subsystems and a set of interconnected elements that interact with each other to achieve a high economic performance of the enterprise. Among the subsystems, there have been distinguished economic and functional, organizational and managerial. For the formation of the economic and functional subsystem, M. Porter’s approach to the creation of the value chain of production was used. Moreover, the value chain for an industrial enterprise should start not from the material and technical supply, as M. Porter proposed, but from the study of market demand for products.

Introduction The conditions of the design features of the products, the rapidly changing preferences of consumers and high competition from imported analogs. As a result, maintaining a leading position is achieved by reducing the cost of manufactured products while maintaining the proper quality of products. These issues are addressed through the organization of effective cost management at secure enterprises. The formation of the costs of secure facilities has a number of features, for the understanding of which the article defines the terms “secure enterprise”, “cost management”, considers the features of calculation items for secure enterprises. Data and methods. The authors consider the concept of cost management, clarify the concept of costs in relation to the selected research topic. A number of features of the costs of a regime enterprise are highlighted, which must be taken into account when forming a cost management system. Instruments and a mechanism for reducing costs are proposed, which together form the prerequisites for the formation of a cost management system at secure industrial enterprises. The article discusses the results of applying the method of analysis of hierarchies to identify reserves for reducing the costs of manufacturing products, within the framework of the functioning of the organizational and economic mechanism of cost reduction proposed in the work at the regime enterprise investigated in the article. Results. For the effective functioning of the organizational and economic mechanism for reducing costs at a regime enterprise, a system of key tools should be created that allow making timely informed decisions to reduce the costs of manufacturing products. The cost reduction tools listed in the work are effective in complex application. In turn, their use in conjunction with the principles of lean production contributes to increased competitiveness and financial results. The complex application of the organizational and economic mechanism considered in the article, cost management tools and lean production methods opens up prospects for the development of a cost management system at a regime industrial enterprise. Conclusion. The need to develop a cost management system is a natural process against the background of heightened international competition, especially given the transition of this competition to the military-political plane. Effective cost management at secure enterprises will contribute to solving the currently urgent tasks of increasing the competitiveness of domestic products and creating import-substituting industries.

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 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.

PurposeIntegrated project delivery (IPD) is highly recommended to be utilised with building information management (BIM), specifically with BIM level-3 implementation process. Extant literature highlights the financial management challenges facing the proposed integration. These challenges are mainly related to the IPD compensation and the conventional cost control approaches that are not consistent with IPD principles. As such, this paper presents an integration of several methods to support automating risk/reward sharing amongst project parties thus enhancing IPD core team members’ relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe literature review was used to highlight the challenges that face the IPD-based cost management practices such as the risk sharing/reward sharing amongst IPD core team members and potential methods to bridge the revealed IPD gap. A framework was developed by integrating the activity-based costing (ABC) – as a method to analyse the cost structure – and earned value management (EVM) to develop mathematical models that can determine the three main IPD financial transactions (i.e. …) fairly. To demonstrate the applicability of the developed system, a real-life case study was used, in which, promising results were collected in regard to visualising the cost control data and understanding of the accumulative status of the project cost and schedule for team members.FindingsA centralised cost management system (CCMS) for IPD is developed to enable the IPD cost structure as well as automating the risk-sharing/reward-sharing calculations. This system is linked with a web-based management system to display the output of proposed risk-sharing/reward-sharing models. Moreover, a novel grid is developed to show the project status graphically and to respect the diversity in core team members backgrounds. In addition, the case study showed that the proposed integration of different methods (ABC, EVM, BIM and web-based management system) is interoperable and applicable.Originality/valueThis research presents a comprehensive solution to the most revealed challenges in cost management practices in IPD implementation. The outcome of this research contributes to the body of knowledge through presenting new extensions of the EVM to be used with the IPD approach to calculate risk/reward. Moreover, the implementation of the proposed tools such as centralised cost management system (CCMS) and CCMS for IPD web system will enhance/foster the implementation of the IPD in conjunction with BIM process.
