Concept of Costs
11
The term ‘cost’ means the amount of expenses [actual or notional] incurred on or attributable to specified thing or activity.
Total cost (TC) is how much money is required to operate at some particular output level. Total cost equals fixed cost plus variable costs (TC = FC + VC).

OPEX & CAPEX
15
An operating expense / expenditure, operational expense / expenditure or OPEX is an ongoing cost for running a product, business, or system.
A capital expenditure (CAPEX), is the cost of developing or providing non-consumable parts for the product or system.
Inventory Management
16
Inventory management is primarily about specifying the size and placement of stocked goods.
Inventory is one of the key items of the Working Capital in the Manufacturing / Trading sector .
Proper Inventory management ensures control over:Financial CostsCost of ObsolescenceHolding / Carrying costsOpportunity Cost
Budgeting
17
A Budget is a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving and spending.
Cost / Expenses Budgets help controlling these by monitoring the Actual VS Budget on regular basis.
Budgets help create a Responsible Culture.Zero-Based Budgets play a key role in
rationalizing and controlling Expenses and improving the Bottom-line.
Realistic Assumptions are extremely important.
Standard Costs
18
It is a system of cost accounting which is designed to find out how much should be the cost of a product under the existing conditions.
The actual cost can be ascertained only when production is undertaken.
The predetermined / Standard cost is compared to the actual cost and a variance between the two enables the management to take necessary corrective measures.

Re-engineering of Processes – BPR
20
Processes involve Costs – HR, Systems & Space..
Some of the Processes are historical / prevalent as legacies in organizations.
At times, management introduces relatively more Processes to ensure higher amount of Controls.
Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) is a Rethinking exercise aimed at dramatically improving the Customer Servicing, Work Efficiency & rationalizing Operational Costs.
Re-engineering of Processes – BPR
21
Continuous Process Improvement – CPI
22
CPI means making things better; it is NOT fighting fires.
Process Definition lists what happens between the start and end points. It includes all the activities performed by each department, group, or person who are involved in the process.
CPI is a regular review of the activities involved in a Process for rationalizing them with an Aim of improving efficiency with adequate Controls and minimum possible Costs.
Quality Management – QM
23
All management activities and functions involved in determination of quality policy and its implementation through means such as quality planning and quality assurance (including quality control).
Quality in working methods and operations both in producing goods and providing services brings twofold benefits – Customer Satisfaction / Loyalty and Cost rationalization by eliminating waste and reducing errors / rectification of errors.
Quality Management – QM
24
Productivity Campaigns
25
Productivity is generally measured by the ratio of output to input.
Running Productivity Campaigns esp., in Manufacturing concerns can lead to significant cost savings e.g., reduction in Labor cost per unit through effective use of time / methods can result in massive Cost savings.
Improved turnaround time in Service organizations can result in similar Cost Savings and improved Revenues.
Cost Consciousness
26
Promoting a Cost Conscious Culture across the Organization by propagating the topics of cost understanding, cost containment, cost avoidance and cost reduction.
Switching off Lights / Air Conditioners, while leaving the workplace.
The 3R Concept – Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.

Time is Value; its optimum utilization ensures improved Operating results.
29
Performance Reward System
30
Link Activities to Vision, KPIs & KPRs.
Provide reasonable Weight to Organizational Goals of Cost Control and rationalization.
When Team Members see Performance Based Rewards, they strive for achieving Goals / Targets.
Performance Reward System
31
Effective Feedback Mechanism
32
An Effective Reporting System provides timely information on Team / Individual performance and achievement of Goals.
MIS reports help making timely Decisions.
Information must meet the criteria of:Being Relevant Timely &Accurate.
Action Plan
33
