throughput costing
SUMMARY
Absorption, variable and throughput costing are alternative product-
costing methods. The difference is treatment of certain cost elements.
Under absorption or full cost method, all manufacturing costs are treated
as product costs. In financial accounting, this method is used in
inventory valuation and is acceptable to tax authorities.In fact all annual
accounts are prepared on this basis to facilitate inter-company
comparison or calculation of industrial ratios.
Variable costing covers only variable costs while all fixed costs are
treated as period costs. This type is more suitable for operational
decisions as fixed cost, being committed, is irrelevant for most decisions.
In present high tech, environment, direct labour has disappeared.
Generally, a few engineers operate the plant. Hence, the only
throughput costs (raw material costs) vary with the change in production.
This would reduce the incentive to over produce to cut down cost per
unit.
The only common feature among the various methods is the focus or
stress on providing information for decision-making. Since some
techniques are used only internally, the company image or standing is
not affected which is certainly reflected by annual reports prepared after
taking into account industrial norms and GAAP.

[edit] History
When cost accounting was developed in the 1890's, labor was the largest
fraction of product cost. Workers often did not know how many hours they
would work in a week when they reported on Monday morning because time-
keeping systems were rudimentary. Cost accountants, therefore, concentrated on
how efficiently managers used labor since it was their most important variable
resource. Now, however, workers who come to work on Monday morning
almost always work 40 hours or more; their cost is fixed rather than variable.
However, today, many managers are still evaluated on their labor efficiencies,
and many "downsizing," "rightsizing," and other labor reduction campaigns are
based on them.
Goldratt argues that, under current conditions, labor efficiencies lead to
decisions that harm rather than help organizations. Throughput Accounting,
therefore, removes standard cost accounting's reliance on efficiencies in general,
and labor efficiency in particular, from management practice. Many cost and
financial accountants agree with Goldratt's critique, but they have not agreed on
a replacement of their own and there is enormous inertia in the installed base of
people trained to work with existing practices.
Constraints accounting, which is a development in the Throughput Accounting
field, emphasizes the role of the constraint, (referred to as the Archemedian
constraint) in decision making. [4].
[edit] The concepts of Throughput Accounting
Goldratt's alternative begins with the idea that each organization has a goal and
that better decisions increase its value. The goal for a profit maximizing firm is
easily stated, to increase profit now and in the future. Throughput Accounting
applies to not-for-profit organizations too, but they have to develop a goal that
makes sense in their individual cases.
Throughput Accounting also pays particular attention to the concept of
'bottleneck' (referred to as constraint in the Theory of Constraints) in the
manufacturing or servicing processes.
Throughput Accounting uses three measures of income and expense:
