V. Conclusion
This paper revealed that the model of activity
based costing can be used in every type of
organization. It has been successfully implemented and
used by many large companies like industries,
institutions, or public sector. Based on the literature
survey we found that:
• The activity-based costing implementation revealed
numerous organizational changes, which resulted
from the process of implementation, such as closer
connection between management accounting and
other operational functions. ABC and any other
costing system are not static; it can be established,
therefore, like organizations change and business
conditions, ABC needs to be updated and
maintained. Finally, in transferring its clear picture,
ABC has ability to make champions of individuals of
specific goods or services.
• Activity-Based Management methods have a broad
range of uses, permitting the empowering utilization
of ABC information for a wide variety of
company
functions and operations such as process analysis,
strategy support and time-based accounting,
monitoring wastage, as well as quality and
productivity management.
• ABC provides information for strategic decisions,
such as product mix and sourcing decisions that is
consistent with the long-run nature of these
decisions.
• ABC allows product designers to understand the
impact of different designs on cost and flexibility
and modify their designs accordingly.
• ABC supports the continuous improvement process
by allowing management to gain new insights into
activity performance, by focusing attention on the
sources of demand for activities and by permitting
management to create a behavioral incentive to
improve one or more aspects of manufacturing.
• ABC is a tool for managing complexity in
manufacturing. ABC provides activity-based information
to help managers understand and eliminate
complexity. It is also a communication tool between
production and marketing and product design that
helps minimize product changes which create
unnecessary complexity.
• The ABC designer can use the rules of ABC design
to simplify the system without sacrificing the
accuracy of product cost. A well designed ABC
system will also have no more detail than that
required by the manufacturing environment.
