Powerful military logistics system has been the mighty support of the high technical war, and cost control is the key to improving the efficiency of the military logistics. This paper proposed a cost control method in military logistics system based on activity-based costing (ABC). Starting with the consideration of characteristics of the military logistics, the target of cost control in military logistics system is put forward. Then the feasibility of applying ABC in military logistics cost control is analysed and the principles of it are explained. And in order to realize the target of cost control in military logistics system, the matrixes of the quantity and the distribution ratio of cost driver are constructed by the mathematic model. Finally, on this basis, the model of cost control in military logistics system is built, and the concrete measures is put forward.

In order to improve the logistics operation of food processing enterprises and control the logistics cost, this paper starts from the analysis of the logistics operation process and characteristics of enterprises, analyzes the logistics cost classification and composition of food processing enterprises, puts forward the basic process of applying TD-ABC to control the logistics cost, constructs the logistics cost accounting model of food processing enterprises based on TD-ABC, and puts forward relevant logistics cost control methods including the design of logistics cost control system, the determination of logistics cost control points and specific implementation steps. The typical food processing enterprises are selected for the empirical study of logistics cost accounting and controlling. By comparing the cost accounting results of TD-ABC and ABC, the result shows that TD-ABC (Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing) method can accurately grasp the logistics cost composition, identify inefficient logistics operations and non-value-added operations, and analyze the efficiency of various logistics departments, verify the feasibility and effectiveness of logistics cost accounting model and control method system, and provide some advice for logistics cost control and logistics process transformation of food processing enterprises.

The current stage of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AF) confirms that the crisis in the country's economy has significantly affected the system of logistics of troops, which ensures its main task – to maintain the combat readiness of military units and ensure their livelihood in peacetime. The war in the east of the country and the existing state of providing troops showed the need to improve the organization and management of the process of logistical (technical, rear and medical) provision of training and combat use of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is currently in the phase of perspective changes and necessitates the development of a new concept of military information management and logistical flows, which will be implemented by a new, more efficient structure, called the "military logistics system". The purpose of the article is to determine the directions for the creation and accumulation of an optimal nomenclature of stocks of material resources in peacetime and their rational separation at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of management. The article describes the contents of the concepts of "logistics", "echelon", "stocking", "operational accounting". Important tasks of modern conditions of process of creation and management of stocks in the course of reforming of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are systematized; variants of the offered models of inventory management are outlined. The goal is achieved through theoretical and experimental research on volume optimization and material separation at all levels of management, which is one of the key problems of military logistics.

Un nuevo sistema de gestión de costes de proyectos de construcción para aumentar la competitividad y la trazabilidad para entornos de proyectos. El objetivo principal de la investigación es utilizar nuevos métodos de cálculo de costes en los proyectos de construcción para reducir y controlar las desviaciones de costes y algunas limitaciones que presentan los modelos tradicionales. La hipótesis de la investigación se basa en la capacidad sinérgica del cálculo de costes basado en actividades centradas en el rendimiento, en combinación con el método de cálculo de costes objetivo para fomentar la competitividad del sistema de control de costes para entornos de proyectos. El método se elaboró para controlar los gastos directos y generales del proyecto durante su ejecución. Se realizó una entrevista con 26 directores financieros en dos o cuatro ocasiones entre junio de 2016 y mayo de 2017 con el fin de validar y modificar el método. Siguiendo una entrevista semiestructurada, el método propuesto contribuyó a aumentar la precisión, la certidumbre y la rastreabilidad de los costes y proporcionó la integridad del sistema contable, técnico y operacional. Además, se analizan las desviaciones y se reducen los costes al considerar las condiciones competitivas y estratégicas. También se limita el coste objetivo de los paquetes de trabajo y se genera una alerta al finalizar cada uno de ellos. Además, de acuerdo con el test de Friedman, existe una capacidad competitiva significativa en comparación con el método convencional de control de costes en los proyectos y también se aplica en un estudio de caso. This research proposed a new method for project cost management based on Competitiveness and traceability in a case study and operational situation. The research hypothesis is based on the synergistic ability of performance focused activity-based costing in combination of the target costing method for encouraging competitiveness cost control system for project environments. The method was developed to control, direct and overhead costs of the project during its progress. Also, it uses the feature of activity-driven and different resource drivers to determine the types of costs with the effect of time driver for each activity. An interview was conducted with financial managers during two to four times with the aim of validating and modifying the method. According to a semi-structured interview, the proposed method contributed to increase the precision, certainty, traceability of costs and provided the integrity of the accounting, technical and operational system. It also analyzes deviations and reduces costs by considering competitive and strategic conditions. It's also limiting the target cost of work packages and causing an alarm on the completion of each. According to Friedman test, there is a meaningful competitive ability compared to the conventional cost control method in the projects and it is also implemented in a case study.

Logistics cost control has become a new source of profits for manufacturing enterprises. Activity based costing (ABC) can achieve great accuracy of logistics cost by using multiple cost drivers, and logistics activity cost control based on ABC develops an advanced management measure. According to the activity operation processes and characteristics of supply logistics, production logistics, sale logistics, reverse logistics and waste material logistics, the mechanism of logistics cost control based on ABC is analyzed for manufacturing enterprises, and the integrated logistics cost control system is creatively put forward for manufacturing enterprises to implementing logistics cost management efficiently. Moreover, some measures including beforehand control, process control and afterwards control are put forward for manufacturing enterprises to reduce the total product cost.
