Increasing competition forces companies to be competitive. Competitiveness can be achieved by conveying product value to consumers at low prices. To achieve this, a good cost approach is needed, one of which is the Activity-Based Costing System (ABC). In this literature study the authors divide ABC into 3 parts, namely the concept of ABC, the stages in ABC and the costs and benefits of implementing ABC. ABC is a cost approach method by calculating the cost of activities to produce products, both goods and services where these activities require resources. After conducting a literature study, the authors found similarities and inequalities among several literatures and then draw conclusions. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the ABC system is used by companies to get more accurate production costs, accurate production costs can increase company profits and the criteria for companies that are suitable for using the ABC system are companies with a high level of product diversity, there is intense competition with companies that produce similar products, as well as the cost of implementing the ABC system is low.

The selection of the right cost calculation method is of critical importance when it comes to determining the real product profitability (as well as clients and other calculation objects). Traditional cost calculation methods often provide false information. The literature offers many examples of big companies that have given up traditional methods and applied a new method: activity-based costing (ABC). They discovered that many products that are manufactured generate losses and not profits. Managers, based on incorrect calculations, mistakenly believed in the profitability of each product. Turney (1991) reports on an example of an American manufacturer of over 4,000 different integrated circuits. The cost calculation with the allocation of direct production costs as machinery-hour markup demonstrated a profit margin of over 26% for each product. Implementing ABC showed that the production of more than half of the products was not profitable, and having factored in additional sales and management costs (which accounted for about 40% of the total costs), it was as much as over 75%.

In the current business environment, the costing system used within the firms has prominent impact on strategic decisions. High-quality cost data significantly increases the quality of firms' strategic decisions. The activity-based costing system has failed to satisfy the needs of firms operating in the competitive economic environment. The time-driven activity-based costing system is the developed version of activity-based costing system. Time-driven activity-based costing system is one of the most sophisticated costing systems that enable firms to accurately calculate the cost of goods and services. Time-equations are used in time-driven activity-based costing system to estimate the time consumed by each activity. This chapter aims to discuss main dynamics of time-driven activity-based costing system and provides an illustration of this costing system in the manufacturing industry. The case study demonstrates that time-driven activity-based costing system is useful in calculating idle capacity cost.

ABSTRACT UD. Prima Bhakti is a food industry that is engaged in processing cassava into cassava chips which are located at Jalan Kemuning, Karangligar Village, West Telukjambe District, Karawang District, West Java. This factory experienced problems in the system of controlling high production costs which impacted on rising selling prices. The occurrence of production costs swelling due to the lack of good cost management. The costing used by the company is currently based on past cost data which is then made an estimated cost that will occur. From the above problems carried out a study of the design of the cost of production through the approach of Activity Based Costing (ABC). Activity Based Costing method is a method of calculating costs that imposes first costs on activities, then on products based on the use of activity by each product. Activity Based Costing System method identifies the activities carried out, tracing the costs to these activities and then using various cost drivers to trace costs, activities to cost objects. Key words: Cassava chips, cost of production, activity based costing ABSTRAK UD. Prima Bhakti merupakan industri makanan yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan singkong menjadi keripik singkong yang beralamat di Jalan Kemuning Desa Karangligar Kecamatan Telukjambe Barat Kabupaten Karawang Jawa Barat. Pabrik ini mengalami permasalahan pada sistem pengendalian biaya produksi yang tinggi yang berimbas pada naiknya harga jual. Terjadinya pembengkakan biaya produksi dikarenakan belum adanya manajemen biaya yang baik. Penetapan biaya yang dipakai perusahaan saat ini didasarkan pada data biaya masa lalu yang kemudian dibuat taksiran biaya yang akan terjadi. Dari permasalahan di atas dilakukan suatu penelitian mengenai rancangan harga pokok produksi melalui pendekatan Activity Based Costing (ABC). Metode Activity Based Costing adalah metode kalkulasi biaya yang membebankan biaya pertama-tama pada aktivitas, lalu pada produk berdasarkan penggunaan aktivitas oleh setiap produk. Metode Activity Based Costing System mengidentifikasikan aktivitas yang dilaksanakan, menelusuri biaya keaktivatas tersebut dan kemudian menggunakan berbagai pemicu biaya (cost drivers) untuk menelusuri biaya, aktivitas ke objek biaya. Kata kunci : Keripik singkong, harga pokok produksi, activity based costing

Abstract Accounting information systems are needed by companies, because they help a lot, in the effectiveness and efficiency of business problems. Determination and calculation of cost of production is a very important thing to know the production costs incurred as well as the benefits to be obtained. PT. Barokah Sejahtera is a company engaged in wall paint products, where in its products depends on the policy of determining and calculating factory overhead costs, if factory overhead costs are the dominant cost, then allocation based on volume will cause errors in determining cost of production by calculating the overall cost raw materials issued with products produced during the production process. In addition, the process of recording and calculation requires considerable time which results in difficulties in analyzing profits. To overcome these problems, the application of Activity Based Costing System and Client Server based methods is carried out. All activities are intended to produce products with adequate costs. The main focus of company management on activity management, namely planning and controlling all company activities in producing products with the appropriate cost level. The research method used is the RND method / Reset and Development Accounting information system calculation of the cost of production is expected to be applied to the company so that it can be more effective and efficient in calculating the cost of production

Abstract. This research aims to design a model of product cost calculation for laundry establishments so that the owners are able to make better decisions based on a more accurate product cost information. More accurate product cost can guide cost reduction initiatives that will improve company profitability. Cost assignment method used in this research is Activity-based Costing system. By implementing this method, cost of a product will be in line with the resources consumed by the product.  In designing the model, researchers did preliminary study, literature study, and data collection activities (interviews and observations). The researchers concluded that many of laundry establishments have not calculated product cost. Therefore, it is suggested that the owners do product cost calculation based on ABC system after weighing the costs and benefits. Moreover, the model should be adapted to each establishment’s business processes. In further research, environmental costs should be incorporated in the model. Abstrak. Penelitian ini  bertujuan untuk menghasilkan model perhitungan harga pokok  jasa yang dapat diterapkan pada usaha laundry untuk pengambilan keputusan yang lebih baik dan pada akhirnya dapat juga digunakan untuk pengendalian biaya, sehingga meningkatkan profitabilitas perusahaan. Metode pembebanan biaya yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Activity-Based Costing system (ABC).  Dengan menggunakan metode ini dapat dihasilkan harga pokok produk yang tepat sesuai dengan sumber daya yang dinikmati oleh produk atau jasa yang dihasilkan. Dalam menghasilkan model, dilakukan kegiatan studi pendahuluan, studi literatur, pengumpulan data melalui dokumentasi, wawancara dan observasi. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perusahaan laundry tidak pernah menghitung harga  pokok  untuk  jasa laundry  mereka,  oleh  karena  itu, disarankan  agar pengusaha laundry sebaiknya menghitung harga pokok menggunakan metode ABC dengan membandingkan  biaya  dan manfaat  yang  dihasilkan  serta  pengadaptasian model sesuai kondisi di masing-masing perusahaan. Dalam penelitian lebih lanjut, sebaiknya unsur biaya lingkungan dapat dimasukkan ke dalam model perhitungan harga pokok.

Cost is an important factor in ensuring the company win in the competition on the market. Consumers will choose a manufacturer that is able to produce products and services that have high quality with low prices. Costs of Management Systems Contemporary emphasis on search than the allocation. And management based activities are at the heart of contemporary operating control system. At least two major factors that must be considered in the selection of cost driver (cost driver) are: the cost of measurement and the degree of correlation between the consumption cost driver with the actual overhead. Cost driver is divided into two categories, namely the structural cost driver and executional cost driver. Cost driver is the basis used to charge collected on cost pool to the product. So that the calculation of the cost through Time Driven activity-based costing system, the company obtain more precise information and accurate.

In developing an information system the school must determine a strategy in its development. Look for managers who are reliable in making decisions that are oriented to reliable development. One of the proper management concepts is cost accuracy. Accuracy of charging costs on cost objects is very important for users of cost information. Beside the accuracy, it is also needed to find out the cost per unit needed in the information system. This is intended to have a price benchmark for the development of information systems in the future. In this study the unit cost calculation uses the ABC (Activity Based Costing) method which emphasizes the cost calculation for the activities involved. The allocation of costs is based on salary data from trusted institutions, namely the Pedoman Standard Minimal 2019 by INKINDO. The results of this study get a total cost value of 18.407.082,00while the cost of each complexity is 5,301.00 with the standard cost of procurement of goods and services issued by the government and several survey institutions.
