2. Control technique that reports variances by comparing actual costs to pre-set standards so facilitating action through management by exception.

3.  The greatest benefit from its use can be gained if there is a degree of repetition in the production process.  It is therefore most suited to mass production and repetitive assembly work.

5. 1. Developing standards 2. Compares standards with actual (variance) 3. Generate information (variance analysis) 4. Stimulate improved performance

6.  What is a standard ?  The difference between a standard and a budget ?  How to set the standards ? Manufacturing Vs Service  Standards, is it suitable for modern organizations ?

7. A predetermined unit cost  Pre-determine  Estimate  For future period  Per unit

9. A budget usually refers to a department's or a company's projected revenues, costs, or expenses.budgetrevenuesexpenses A standard usually refers to a projected amount per unit of product, per unit of input (such as direct materials, factory overhead), or per unit of output. For example, a manufacturer will have budgets for its manufacturing or factory overhead departments. Let's assume that the budgeted manufacturing overhead for the upcoming year is expected to be $1,000,000 in order to produce the expected 100,000 identical units of product. The standard cost of manufacturing overhead per unit of product is $10 ($1,000,000 divided by 100,000 units)manufacturing overhead

10.  Depends on the type of organization

11.  Normal items looked at are;  Material  Labour  O/H  Sales & we look at price/rate or volume/qty

12.  Past prices or rates (past trends)  Estimates received from material or labour suppliers  Level of quality planned (specifications: High or low quality material, high or low skilled workers).  Agreements or possible agreements with trade unions  National legislations (Ex: minimum wage rate acts, price controls)  Types of overheads and the current methods used.  Specific external factors [Competitors, Customers (level of demand, price elasticity), Suppliers]  General external factors [Political / Economical (inflation and interest rates) / Social and Legal / Technical]

13.  Past performance  Competitor performance  Planned Performance  Level of performance gives:  Ideal standard  Attainable standard  Current standard  Basic standard

14. Few issues  Difficult to establish a measurable cost unit  Every cost unit will be different / heterogeneous  High levels of human involvement

15.  McDonaldization  Diagnostic Reference Grouping Exceptional cases

16. Stable Vs Dynamic environment Cost control or Cost management Labour centric or Realistic Aggregate Vs Individualistic Standards and Behavioral implications
