Cost Management
The approaches and activities of managers touse resources to increase value to customers
and to achieve organizational goals (e.g., lower
the costs of products and services.)
(From: Horngren, Datar, & Rajan, Cost
Accounting, 14thEdition, Pearson Prentice Hall,
Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2012, page 848).
Cost management should be across the internal
value chain*; e.g., see Exhibit 1-6 page 16:
Business functions making up the value chain
Product Customer
R&D Design Manufacturing Marketing Distribution Service*Also, across the supply chain.
