12 CHAPTER Activity-Based Management
1 The Relationship of Activity-Based Costing and Activity-Based Management OBJECTIVE Activity-based management (ABM) is a systemwide, integrated approach that focuses management’s attention on activities with the objectives of improving customer value and the profit achieved by providing this value. ABC is the major source of information for activity-based management.
1 The Relationship of Activity-Based Costing and Activity-Based Management OBJECTIVE The Two-Dimensional Activity-Based Management Model
2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE Process value analysis is fundamental to activity-based responsibility accounting, focuses on accountability for activities rather than costs, and emphasizes the maximization of systemwide performance instead of individual performance. Process value analysis is concerned with: (1) Driver analysis (2) Activity analysis (3) Performance measurement
2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE Driver analysis is the effort expended to identify the factors that are the root causes of activity costs. Activity analysis is the process of identifying, describing, and evaluating the activities an organization performs. Activity analysis should produce four outcomes: What activities are performed. How many people perform the activities. The time and resources are required to perform the activities. An assessment of the value of the activities to the organization.
2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE Those activities necessary to remain in business are called value-added activities. Activities needed to comply with the reporting requirements, such as the SEC, are value-added by a mandate. Implicit in this definition is the notion that value-added activities may contain nonessential actions that create unnecessary cost.
2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE All activities other than those essential to remain in business are referred to as nonvalue-added activities. These activities fail to produce a change in the product’s state or those activities that replicate work because it wasn’t done correctly the first time.
2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE • Scheduling • Moving • Waiting • Inspecting • Storing Nonvalue-Added Activities
1. Activity elimination 2. Activity selection 3. Activity reduction 4. Activity sharing 2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE Activity management can reduce costs in four ways:
Efficiency Quality Time 2 Process Value Analysis OBJECTIVE Assessing Activity Performance
Financial Measures of Activity Efficiency 3 OBJECTIVE Financial measures of activity efficiency include: • Value- and nonvalue-added activity costs • Trends in activity costs • Kaizen standard setting • Benchmarking • Activity flexible budgeting • Activity capacity management

Financial Measures of Activity Efficiency 3 OBJECTIVE Trend Report: Non-Value-Added Costs
Financial Measures of Activity Efficiency 3 OBJECTIVE Kaizen costing is concerned with reducing the costs of existing products and processes. Controlling this cost reduction process is accomplished through the repetitive use of two major subcycles: (1) the kaizen or continuous improvement cycle, and (2) the maintenance cycle.

Financial Measures of Activity Efficiency 3 OBJECTIVE Benchmarking uses best practices as the standard for evaluating activity performance. Benchmarking against internal operations is called internal benchmarking.

Implementing Activity-Based Management 4 OBJECTIVE ABM Implementation Model (Continued on next slide)
Implementing Activity-Based Management 4 OBJECTIVE ABM Implementation Model (Continued from previous slide)
Implementing Activity-Based Management 4 OBJECTIVE Systems planning provides the justification for implementing ABM and address the following issues: 1. The purpose and objectives of the ABM system. 2. The organization’s current and desired competitive position. 3. The organization’s business processes and product mix. 4. The timeline, assigned responsibilities, and resources required for implementation. 5. The ability of the organization to implement, learn, and use new information.
Implementing Activity-Based Management 4 OBJECTIVE Why ABM Implementations Fail • Lack of support of higher-level management. • Failure to maintain support from higher-level management. • Resistance to change. • Failure to integrate the new system.
