The development of a good governed costing management model for Mandela Bay Development Agency projects within the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal boundariesMartin, Monica January 2017 (has links)
The purpose of this single case study was to investigate the variables that determine the perceived success of the costing management of Mandela Bay Development Agency Projects (MBDA). Eleven propositions namely Strategic Planning, Stakeholders, Procurement Processes, Contracts, Design Management, Implementation Management, Internal Regulatory Structures, Outside Advice, Human Behaviour, Risk Management and Governance Structure, were identified that could influence costing management of MBDA projects. By using qualitative research methods, the MBDA was compared with three other agencies with similar mandates, by means of four semi-structured interviews, in order to identify similarities and differences between the organisations in terms of costing management. The results of nine in-depth interviews with MBDA project role players, with open ended questions about the participants’ views on the factors that influence costing management, were used to discover themes that were overlooked in the proposed model of perceived success of costing management of MBDA projects. Most of the propositions as per the proposed model for the perceived success of costing management of MBDA projects were confirmed to have a positive relationship to the costing management of MBDA projects. The model was revised after the results were presented to include two ante-ceding variables that were overlooked in the literature review, but emerged from the data namely Funding Model and Compliance to Legislation. The identification of the additional variables namely Team Dynamics (replacing Human Behaviour) and Planning Model are important aspects to be considered in relation to the costing management of MBDA projects. With the focus on good governance and the MBDA’s good record of clean and unqualified audits, it is to be noted that the performance of government projects is usually measured against progress and expenditure and not necessarily against the value for money and the quality of the completed project.

Process mapping for the implementation of a fixed pricing model at AGNA Logistik i Norrköping AB / En flödeskartläggning för implementering av en fast prismodell hos AGNA Logistik ABBrkic, Anel, Magnusson, Albin January 2024 (has links)
The study was conducted with the goal of designing a new pricing model for one of AGNA Logistik AB's customer projects through a detailed flow mapping and cost analysis. The existing pricing model that AGNA Logistik applies in the studied customer project is based on time and material billing, which entails significant risks in terms of unnoticed resource wastage and inefficiency in forecasting an estimated price effectively. To address these issues, a combination of literature reviews, field studies, and Activity Based Costing was used to identify and analyze the costs and time of activities in the logistics flow. This methodology has enabled a precise mapping of the actual costs for each individual activity, for all the studied products. The study resulted in a proposal for a new pricing model based on fixed prices per item. This model is expected to eliminate resource wastage and inefficiency, as well as contribute to more fair and predictable pricing. By introducing fixed prices per item, AGNA Logistik can not only increase efficiency in its internal processes but also improve financial predictability and customer satisfaction. The implementation of the new pricing model has the potential to reduce administrative inefficiency and ensure that pricing includes all costs of the logistics operations. In the long term, this is expected to lead to increased economic benefits for AGNA Logistik, both through improved margins and increased attractiveness of the company's services in the market. / Studien har genomförts med målet att utforma ett underlag för implementeringen av en ny fast prismodell för ett av kunduppdragen hos AGNA Logistik AB genom en detaljerad flödeskartläggning och kostnadsanalys. Den befintliga prismodellen som AGNA Logistik tillämpar i det studerade kunduppdraget bygger på löpande räkning, vilket medför betydande risker i form av resursslöserier som inte fångas upp och ineffektivitet med att prognostisera hanteringskostnader på ett effektivt sätt. För att åtgärda dessa problem har en kombination av litteraturstudier, fältstudier och ABC-kalkylering (Activity Based Costing) använts för att identifiera och analysera kostnader och tidsåtgången för aktiviteterna i logistikflödet. Denna metodik har möjliggjort en noggrann kartläggning av de faktiska kostnaderna för varje enskild aktivitet, för varje enskild studerad produkttyp från inleverans till utleverans. Studien har resulterat i ett förslag på en ny prismodell som baseras på fasta priser per plockad artikel. Denna modell förväntas eliminera identifierade resursslöserier och ineffektivitet, samt bidra till en mer rättvis och förutsägbar prissättning. Genom att införa fasta priser per artikel kan AGNA Logistik inte bara öka effektiviteten i sina interna processer utan också förbättra den ekonomiska förutsägbarheten och kundnöjdheten. Implementeringen av den fasta prismodellen har potential att minska den administrativa ineffektiviteten och säkerställa att prissättningen inkluderar samtliga kostnader för logistikverksamheten. På lång sikt förväntas detta leda till ökade ekonomiska fördelar för AGNA Logistik, både genom förbättrade marginaler och genom ökad attraktivitet för företagets tjänster på marknaden.

[en] MODEL OF COST CALCULATION OF OIL OFF - LOADING FROM THE CAMPOS BASIN - RJ STATE, USING THE ACTIVITY BASED COSTING TECHNIQUE / [pt] MODELO DE CÁLCULO DO CUSTO DE ESCOAMENTO DE ÓLEO DA BACIA DE CAMPOS - RJ, USANDO A TÉCNICA DE CUSTO BASEADO NA ATIVIDADE - ABC COSTINGJOSE LIMA DA SILVA 24 March 2006 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho apura os custos do escoamento de óleo na
operação de
exploração e produção da Petrobrás na Bacia de Campos. O
desenvolvimento do
tema está baseado na forma que a operação é executada,
tanto por navios
aliviadores quanto por dutos submarinos; e os custos são
tratados ao longo da
operação, alinhados com as estruturas das organizações
envolvidas com o
escoamento, também chamado offloading. O objetivo deste
trabalho é propor uma
metodologia de cálculo do custo de escoamento,
relacionando as operações
desenvolvidas com as várias parcelas no processo de
escoamento, dentro da
aplicação da técnica de Custo Baseado na Atividade - ABC
Costing. Tal técnica
propõe que as atividades sejam determinadas através da
análise das etapas do
processo e assim os componentes dos custos são
identificados para se chegar ao
todo. Não faz parte do escopo desse estudo a comparação
entre os modais,
embora, ao final do estudo, sejam apresentados os custos
por volume de óleo
transferido, tanto através de dutos como por navios. A
opção de investimentos,
por um ou outro modal de transporte, obedece, algumas
vezes, a fatores
intangíveis, contemplados dentro do plano estratégico da
Petrobras, apenas
mencionados por estarem fora do alcance e da proposta
desse estudo. A
expectativa é que, ao final, o leitor possa ter uma
compreensão dos componentes
de formação dos custos de escoamento, tanto através de
dutos quanto por navios
aliviadores, e a contribuição que a técnica de Custo
Baseado na Atividade pode
oferecer nos cálculos desses custos para avaliação de
futuros projetos. / [en] This study disserts about the costs of oil offloading in
the exploration and
production operation - E and P - of Petrobras in Campos`
Basin. The development of
the subject is based on the way the operation is
performed, as much for shuttle
tankers as for sub-sea pipelines; depicting the way costs
were treated along the
operation, aligned with the organizations structures
involved in the offloading
process. The core objective of this work is to offer a
methodology to calculate the
total offloading operation cost value, assigning each
developed operation with its
related cost components, using an Activity-Based Costing -
ABC - approach. This
approach considers that activities should be determined
through the analysis of all
stages. Once all activities are outlined, related cost
components are assigned to
each activity, calculating total oil offloading cost. It
is not a target of this study to
compare modals, though costs for volume of transferred
oil, for pipelines and
ships are presented at the end of the study. Sometimes,
the choice for investments
in one or another transport modal, might be based on
intangible variables, or
strategic decisions, contemplated on the Petrobras
Strategic Plan. The expectation,
at the end of this study, is to give the reader an
understanding of the offloading
costs and the contribution that the Activity Based Costing
approach provides to
calculate these costs for future projects evaluations.

Évaluation de l'efficacité clinique et mesure de l'efficience des interventions de réadaptation en déficience visuelle pour les personnes âgéesCoulmont, Michel January 2008 (has links)
Increased needs for health and social services, along with limits to financial resources, force public sector managers to optimize the allocation of financial resources. In this perspective, this research project is aimed at developing tools to evaluate rehabilitation programs dealing with physical disabilities. More specifically, the objectives are first, to examine relationships between the progression of a physically disabled person's functional profile and the rehabilitation services received, and second, to develop a tool to measure the efficiency of the rehabilitation programs offered. In accordance with the disability creation process conceptual framework, clinical results have been measured by measuring the progression of rehabilitation and efficiency has been defined as the relationship between clinical results obtained and the resources or means employed. A prospective cohort study was done on a sample of 100 users 65 years of age or older enrolled in the visual impairment program. The results of the study tend to show that the hours of service delivery allocated to a user contribute positively to the progress of his or her overall functional profile. They also show that a user's overall functional profile at intake is very strongly related to the consumption of financial resources. This relationship has allowed us to establish a system of classification of homogenous typical functional groups that makes relatively reliable predictions based on a unique measurement. Finally, the efficiency measurement tool developed represents a major innovation in evaluating the performance of rehabilitation programs in that it constitutes a benchmark toward attaining quality objectives for care and services while respecting financial constraints.

A costing system for the construction industry in Southern AfricaMushonga, Evans 03 1900 (has links)
This research is based on the problem of allocating indirect overheads to construction projects in order to establish the performance of each project. Traditional costing (TC) systems and Activity-Based Costing (ABC) systems are both used for the allocation of overheads.
Both primary and secondary data were used in this research. Primary data was collected by means of two questionnaires, one addressed to construction companies and the other to consultants. The sample of respondents was obtained from the register of contractors and construction industry companies. The researcher sent the links to the Lime survey by email to all respondents.
The purpose of the literature review was to identify gaps and justify the need for this research. It considered existing findings by previous researchers. Primary data was therefore required to find answers specific to the problem of overheads allocation in the construction industry. According to the respondents, the use of TC systems produces distorted project cost results while ABC produces more accurate results when used in the construction industry. However, contractors had not adopted the ABC system but used TC systems despite their producing distorted project costs.
It is recommended that both TC and ABC systems be used in the construction industry since they complement each other. Contractors may have to adopt the ABC system to enhance their decision-making while continuing to use the TC systems for external reporting. / Management Accounting / M. Com. (Accounting)

Development of a dynamic costing model for assessing downtime and unused capacity costs in manufacturingLincoln, Andrew R. 20 September 2013 (has links)
While costing methods have developed over time, they are often static in nature and ill-suited to the dynamic nature of production lines. Static costing systems are often developed for long-term analysis. Due to this, they lack the ability to aid short-term decision-making. In addition, the use of averaged data prohibits a static costing system from accurately tracing the cost effects of changing system behavior like random downtime events. A dynamic costing system, however, can capture the cost effects of changing system behavior in a manner that can aid short-term operational management.
The proposed methodology is a dynamic activity-based costing method that relies on real-time production line data to track costs, specifically the added costs of unused capacity and downtime events. The methodology aims to trace these costs to responsible cost centers on the production line to give a better representation of the total cost of production, specifically in regards to normal production costs, added downtime costs, and added costs from unused capacity. In addition to monetary costs, the methodology provides a framework for tracking environmental costs, such as energy use, in order to aid plant managers with determining the environmental impact of their operations.
The methodology addresses a gap between activity-based costing and downtime costing by combining the two under a single methodology. It traces both monetary and environmental costs to cost centers on the manufacturing line to aid continuous improvement efforts and the allocation of resources. By using real-time data, the methodology alerts management to changing system performance in a shorter time frame than static costing systems.
The methodology will be shown in a case study of an automotive assembly plant. The case study will model the resource use of an automotive paint shop and trace this resource use to line segments in order to highlight areas of possible improvement.
