Book Description

Excerpt from Production Factors: In Cost Accounting and Works Management In the discussion now presented (which also was first presented as a series of articles in the engi neering magazine, running from October, 1909, to April, he extends the idea of accurate alloca tion of costs much further. He proposes, indeed, a new way of looking at the whole problem of manu facturing expense. His purpose is to avoid the aver agings and approximations of a mixed expense ao count, now commonly in use, by recognizing from the very outset all the important factors in production, and segregating continuously the charges belonging to each. Many such factors can be recognized, he maintains, quite as distinct and determinable as the wages factor, and reducible to unit values which may be applied directly to the product they serve. The demonstration is thorough, practical, concrete enough to enable the cost accountant or manager to apply it to his own case, yet not lacking in the broad statement of, principle that applies to all cases. It will be followed with interest by all who are asso ciated with the investigation of the real facts of pro duction costs. The editor.
