Description: Supply Chain Cost Control Using Activity Based Management discusses the competitive advantage that cost analysis and management can bring to the companies within a supply chain. This book addresses a number of strategies for evaluating the total cost inherent in a customer-supplier relationship, using total cost of ownership, activity-based costing, and activity-based management for analyzing and controlling supply chain costs. It combines game theory with survey results to suggest cost reduction strategies in competitive environments and predict the outcomes of these strategies. This text shows the importance of partnerships in applying activity-based management principles to suppliers.
