Abstract Activity-based costing (ABC) and the theory of constraints (TOC) represent alternative paradigms for evaluating the economic consequences of production-related decisions. However‚ their application can lead to contradictory productmix decisions. To resolve this con#ict‚ it is frequently suggested that the TOC is appropriate for the short run‚ while ABC is appropriate for the longer term. This paper models the selection of a product mix with the TOC and an ABC model integrating activity-based

the impact of activity-based costing (ABC) on adoption of world-class manufacturing (WCM) practices and plant performance. In contrast to earlier research that estimates the direct impact of ABC on plant performance‚ we develop an alternative research model to study the role of world-class manufacturing practices as a mediator of the impact of ABC. Analysis of data from a large cross-sectional sample of US manufacturing plants indicates that ABC has no significant direct impact on plant performance‚

During the Second World War the service had to be suspended though. By this time new forms of communications

Technology has been a very big contribution to this generation. Like everything in this world‚ things age as well as evolve and change. One aspect that has begun to change is where and how we use technology. Three major examples are in the work place‚ how we monitor our elderly parents or siblings‚ and how it improved our medicine. While these three topics may seem very different‚ after reading two articles from the New York Times and one from The New Yorker‚ “Technologies Help Adult Children Monitor

Activity Based Costing (ABC) The emergence of ABC systems During the 1980s the limitations of traditional product costing systems began to be widely publicised. These systems were designed decades ago when most companies manufactured a narrow range of products‚ and direct labour and materials were the dominant factory costs. Overhead costs were relatively small‚ and the distortions arising from inappropriate overhead allocations were not significant. Information processing costs
