PRINCIPLES OF COST CONTROL 1.1 Introduction Cost is important to all industry. Costs can be divided into two general classes; absolute costs and relative costs. Absolute cost measures the loss in value of assets. Relative cost involves a comparison between the chosen course of action and the course of action that was rejected. This cost of the alternative action - the action not taken - is often called the "opportunity cost". The accountant is primarily concerned with the absolute cost. However‚

The use of such tools and procedures can effectively manage information in such a way that quality solutions are produced.

Lean production is widely understood to be production based upon a range of waste saving measures inspired by Japanese manufacturing companies‚ particularly the Kaizen and Just in time techniques. Metov’s plastics have taken the decision upon themselves to incorporate some of the characteristics of lean production namely time management and critical path analysis into their manufacturing process and I will examine these. One method used by Metov’s is critical path analysis (CPA). CPA is the process

Costs of Producing Biogas at Dairy Farms in The Netherlands 1 Introduction Anaerobic digestion of organic wastes and by‐products from agriculture and the food industry is a process known for many years and is widely used for waste stabilization‚ pollution control‚ improvement of manure quality and biogas production (Weiland‚ 2006). Biogas production from manure contributes to climate protection by reducing emissions of CO2 via substitution of fossil fuels and by reducing CH4 emissions from the

Over the past 20 years‚ cellphones have developed at a remarkable pace. At first the production was carefree. People gave little thought to the wellbeing of the environment and its sustainability. In time came new technologies and new demands for mobility and functionality. This meant greater demand for telephones and advanced electronic circuits. In 2015 alone‚ there was sold almost 1.3 billion smartphones [14]. In all advanced electronic circuits‚ toxins and hazardous substance are utilized. [1]

The movie “Wall-E” has shown the possibilities of world destruction‚ while the movie “A Civil Action” shows the kind of destruction that is occurring now‚ and the cost that is associated with both scenarios. To coincide with these two movies‚ the articles “The Tragedy of the Commons” and “The Problem of Social Cost”‚ also tell us what to expect if the human race does not change its ways.

Europe? These are all typical questions in which Cost-Benefit Analysis plays a crucial role. If we have to decide whether to use a particular idea from another‚ there is one general rule that should always be put to practice. Should the benefits of project A ultimately exceed those of the next best alternative course of action‚ then it must be taken into consideration as the best solution bringing along with it better results. If this rule is applied to all possible
