Backflush accounting was seen as more of a priority than the use of Throughput Accounting Backflush Accounting(or cost recovery delayed until the point of sale) is consistent with pull production. The aerospace industry is in an excellent position to exploit pull production, as in both the commercial and military arenas, aircraft are built-to-order. H traditionally the demand signals have been amplified down through the supply chain resulting in high levels of inventory along individual product value streams. Therefore, the aerospace industry. in a similar manner to the automotive industry, has widely adopted a Just-in-Time(J approach over the past tea Bears or so. with kanban systems often used to trigger inventory movements and g of materials and components The lean objective of reducing production cycle times means that, at a certain point, it no longer serves any useful purpose to maintain detailed transaction records on the movement of work-in-Progress. As a practical matter, the product would be finished and dispatched before work-in-Progress reports reflected its movement status(Jenson et al. 1996) Therefore. the extra effort required to record and process these additional transactions is longer justified Maskell(1996) states the simple logic behind backflush costing
