PROCESS VALUE ANALYSIS
Process value analysis (PVA) is fundamental to activity-based responsibility accounting, focuses on accountability for activities rather than costs, and emphasizes the maximization of systemwide performance instead of individual performance. Process value analysis moves activity management from a conceptual basis to an operational basis. As the model in Exhibit 12.1 illustrates, process value analysis is concerned with (1) driver analysis, (2) activity analysis, and (3) performance measurement.
