But executives who have tried to implement ABC in their organizations on any significant scale have often abandoned the attempt in the face of rising costs and employee irritation. Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing is the solution to the problems associated with large-scale ABC implementation. In this book, Kaplan and Anderson offer a revised model where managers can estimate the resource demands imposed by each transaction, product, or customer, rather than rely on time-consuming and costly employee surveys. <p> In their new model, Kaplan and Anderson focus on the two parameters managers need to estimate: how much it costs per time unit to supply resources to the business activities (the total overhead expenditure of a department divided by the total number of minutes of employee time available) and how much time it takes to carry out one unit of each kind of activity (as estimated or observed by the manager). Rather than endlessly updating and maintaining ABC data, this book with allow managers to spend their time addressing the deficiencies the model reveals: inefficient processes, unprofitable products and customers, and excess capacity. <p> Kaplan and Anderson lead the discussion of Time-Driven ABC in the first seven chapters, followed by individual cases studies of actual implementations by Acorn consultants in diverse settings. 611967 4 4 2007 Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing: A Simpler and More Powerful Path to Higher Profits total:4|5:1|3:1|2:2| 4 12 7 1 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 2 1 false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue May 22 03:35:15 -0700 2007 Tue May 22 03:50:57 -0700 2007 more...]]> 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 0 0 false Tue Nov 10 04:12:21 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 04:12:21 -0800 2009 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 0 0 false Mon Apr 13 00:54:02 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 00:54:02 -0700 2009 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 3 0 false Tue Jan 20 10:57:42 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 20 10:57:42 -0800 2009 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 0 0 false Fri Jun 13 00:54:33 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 00:54:33 -0700 2008 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 2 0 false Fri Mar 21 08:36:18 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 08:36:18 -0700 2008 625613 1422101711 9781422101711 4 1 3.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176430350m/625613.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/625613.Time_Driven_Activity_Based_Costing_A_Simpler_and_More_Powerful_Path_to_Higher_Profits 5 0 false Thu Jan 24 21:40:21 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 24 21:40:40 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=625613
