Description: Supply Chain Cost Control Using Activity Based Management discusses the competitive advantage that cost analysis and management can bring to companies within a supply chain. The book addresses a number of strategies to evaluate the total cost inherent in a customer-supplier relationship, using total cost of ownership (TCO), activity-based costing (ABC), and activity-based management (ABM) for analyzing and controlling supply chain costs. Combining game theory with survey results, the authors suggest cost reduction strategies in competitive environments and predict the outcomes of these strategies. This cost-effective system helps businesses remain competitive and profitable.
