Synopsis

Understand how to measure and manage the costs that drive every manufactured product.

This guide explains what makes materials, labor, and general expenses come together in a factory, and how smart cost distribution leads to profitable decisions.

The text frames cost as a three-part reality: direct materials, direct labor, and a broad, often elusive general expense. It shows how correct budgeting and placement of every cost item affect pricing, competition, and ultimately success. Through practical examples, it highlights the need for careful survey of conditions, disciplined accounting, and disciplined management to maximize value from each unit of output.
  • How materials flow from receipt to finished product and how storage and handling affect operations
  • How to assign labor costs fairly and track productivity across different products
  • Ways to allocate general expenses so each item bears a just share
  • Strategies to respond to competition by understanding true cost and pricing decisions
Ideal for readers of occasions such as manufacturing coursework, engineering practice, and industrial management, this edition helps translate theory into practical cost control and operational improvement.
