Chapter 5 in Management Accounting in Supply Chains, 2020, pp 95-119 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter outlines how cost accounting forms the basis for pro-active management of cost and how cost management can be implemented in a supply chain environment. Cost management is the combination of all activities and tools used to influence cost in order to achieve company goals. It focuses on managing the cost level, the cost structure, and cost behavior of a company. Interorganizational cost management (IOCM) can be defined as coordinated efforts by supply chain partners to actively influence and reduce costs. The chapter discusses most of the important IOCM techniques, namely chained target costing, Kaizen costing, life cycle costing, and activity-based costing in supply chains.
