activity-based costing (ABC) approach together with traditional costing (TC) for parts costing in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) with the A(2) level of automation. We propose a new model for the implementation of ABC using the product cost tree concept. First, the required resources and activities for each part are recorded, and then their costs are calculated using the appropriate cost formulae. This model was applied in a forging industry. A comparison and analysis between ABC and TC was then carried

literature on Activity Based Costing (ABC) tends to define the ‘success’ of an ABC system in relation to the decision-making and strategy formulating opportunities it provides based on the ‘logic’ or technical attributes of ABC (Shields, 1995; Malmi, 1997). This paper argues that there is a logic of ABC and tries to identify and illustrate how people relate to, misunderstand and still ‘appropriate’ this logic and start “talking accounting”. This paper shows that the ABC system implemented in this organisation

is a Professor at the Claremont Graduate School and Robert S. Kaplan is a Professor at the Harvard Business School. This paper describes the conceptual basis for the design and use of newly emerging activity-based cost (ABC) systems. TVaditional cost systems use volume-driven allocation bases, such as direct labor dollars, machine hours, and sales dollars, to assign organizational expenses to individual products and customers. But many ofthe resource demands by individual products and customers

strategies. TEACHING NOTES Background and Purpose Textbook illustrations and pedagogical cases on activity-based costing (ABC) typically focus on manufacturing applications.[1] However, the U.S. Bureau of the Census projects approximately 74 percent of the workforce will be employed in the service sector by 2006 (U.S. Bureau of the Census 1999). Furthermore, ABC and customer costing are increasingly popular among service organizations such as financial institutions and health care organizations
