Preface
This thesis is the result of five years of research in the field of costing support and cost control in manufacturing. The research has been performed in the framework of a research program focussed on sheet metal manufacturing as part of the IOP-research program supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The research has been supervised by Prof. H.J.J. Kals, former chairman of the laboratory of Design, Production and Management at the University of Twente. The research has been a continuation of two previous research projects at the laboratory mentioned above. The result of the project ”An architecture for cost control in manufacturing: the use of cost information in order-related decisions” by Arthur Liebers has been a starting point for this research. In addition, the results of the project “Manufacturing integration based on information management” by Eric Lutters have been employed in this research. I could not have accomplished this research without the help of others. First, I want to thank Prof. Kals and Ton Streppel for their support. Though our discussions weren’t that frequent and easy, they helped me to find a proper path in my research. Further, I want to thank Arthur Liebers for passing on the

    “Companies can choose to use the accounting job order costing method when they have a single product line or numerous products to manufacture. However, it is less costly and less time-consuming if they elect to use process costing when calculating the manufacturing of a single product line. With similarities and differences, there are also pros and cons that come with these costing methods. Every company is unique and what may work well in a car repair shop, may not work in an automobile company. When we think about the similarities between job order costing and process costing we can agree that they both monitor three specific elements, which are direct material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. In addition the flow of costs in each method is essentially the same when you look at both accounts.” (Huntington, 2013) Radiator Parts Fabrication equal Overhead Costs divided by Machine Hours $80,000 equal $8 per machine hour 10,000 Radiator Assembly, Weld, and Test equal $100,000 equal $5 per machine hour 20,000 Compressor Parts Fabrication equal $120,000 equal $24 per machine hour 5,000 Compressor Assembly and Test equal $180,000 equal $4 per machine hour 45,000. The department overhead rates included the compressor assembly and test department has the highest overhead costs with the most machine hours that total $4 per machine hour. The compressor parts fabrication department yields the highest cost per machine hour at $24. ”Job order costing gives managers the advantage of being able to keep track of individuals' and teams'…

    There are many different cost control strategies that employer-sponsored plans can implement. The first one is that employers can offer a number of products of services to their employees. One service that employer can do is buy options, called riders, so that they can augment their health plan coverage. These can be used for different coverage’s like dental and vision care. They can also be used for complementary healthcare such as acupuncture, massage, and some dietetic counseling. These enrollments are usually held annually. They call this enrollment “open enrollment.” Sometimes these enrollments occur after a waiting period that the employer specifies. This is just for new hires, so that they can have the insurance coverage when they have waited their probation period time. During the enrollment, employees decide on which plan or benefits they would like for the next year. There are different level of premiums and deductibles that are available. There is adequate coverage in both plans, but usually the self-funded plans have the higher risks that come with them. These types of plans have no third party administrators involved.…

    Comparing cost control strategies of employer-sponsored health plans and self funded health plans employers do what they can and offer plans that will fit the employees. Employers limit the services or plans to help control cost. Riders are options that employees can add to a plan, like vision and dental plans. There are also complimentary plans that can be purchased like chiropractic services, dietetic counseling and acupuncture. Employers tend to offer plans through an open enrollment period. Open enrollment is offered at certain times of the year, usually at the beginning of the year or the end of the years for the next physical year. Open enrollment allows for the employee to pick the plans that are best for their families needs. This is a plan that has no third party administrators. There are various types of premiums and deductibles that are offered as well as co-pays. Most people look at what the premium and out of pocket expenses are going to be. Self funded plans have more risk that but there are good coverage’s in both plans.…

    Employer-sponsored health plans buy medical insurance from insurance companies to give to their employees as benefits. The human resource department negotiates with insurance companies and selects a group health plan (GHP) to give to their employees as a basic plan. The employees can then purchase riders, or options such as dental or vision insurance, to add to their basic plan. Employers can also use a different network of providers for certain types of medical care for their employees. During open enrollment periods, which is a specified period usually offered once per year, employees can customize their insurance coverage to their families' insurance needs.…
