    The traditional costing method is a distribution of manufacturing overhead costs to the actual products manufactured. By using this method the factory’s indirect costs are assigned, on a scale of volume, to the items manufactured (Averkamp, 2013). This may include items such as the direct hours of labor or the number of bikes produced.…

    What Happened to Direct Labor - an Article Critique

    In the early days of my career it was not uncommon for my manufacturing clients to have 25% of the cost of goods sold associated with raw material, another 25% or more associated with direct labor, and then someplace around the neighborhood of 10-20% associated with overhead. As technology advanced in the manufacturing area, and more and more manufacturers came under pressure to reduce cost, those numbers have changed dramatically and today I find that raw material cost might be in the neighborhood of 50% of the cost of goods sold with direct labor being in the neighborhood of 10-15% with…

    Case Analysis: Cost Economics

    In order to increase productivity and cut costs to better compete, firms often seek creative insights in industries far afield from their own. Of course, in a time of increased global competition, firms routinely scrutinize competitors’ practices in their quest for innovative products and processes. But seeking inspiration only in one’s own industry has limitations, and so more and more firms are increasingly looking in other industries and fields, “from outside the box” to come up with new products and better ways of doing things. For example, when Southwest Airlines wanted to improve the turnaround of its aircraft at airports, it did not examine other airline’s practices but went to the Indianapolis 500 to watch how pit crews fuel and service race cars in a matter of seconds. The result was that Southwest was able to cut its turnaround time by 50 percent. Such a drastic increase in productivity could hardly be accomplished by observing other airline’s practices. It is, of course, much more difficult to adapt techniques from other industries, but when it is accomplished, the potential rewards in terms of increased efficiency can be very great.…
