  2. Management Accounting in a dynamic environment Chapter 14

  3. Objectives • Describe factors in a dynamic environment that influence an organization • Describe how the organization’s strategy is related to its structure • Explain the role of management accounting in the organizational structure and in making planning decisions • Identify major characteristics of total quality management (TQM) • Use quality costs for making planning decisions and control • Explain the philosophy of just-in-time (JIT) processes and accounting adjustments for JIT • Identify when management accounting within an organization should change

  4. External Forces Affecting the Organization Technological Innovation Global Competition Organization Customer Preferences

  5. Organizational Strategy and Structure Customer value is achieved through: High-quality products and services Innovativeproduct andservice design Low-cost production and delivery When and organization adopts TQM it seeks to continually improve its operations and customer service

  6. Planning Decisions Product/Service Design Production and Delivery Customer Services Control Decisions Responsibilities Performance Measures Compensation Organizational Strategy and Structure Technological Change Customer Preferences Globalization Strategy for Customer Value Product/Service Innovation Quality, Low Cost Customer Value Organizational Value

  7. Organizational Strategy and Structure Recent Terminology Just-in-time manufacturing (JIT) Toyota Production System (TPS) Kanban CONWIP (constant work-in-process) Total quality management (TQM) Continuous improvement Zero defects strategies Statistical process control (SPC) Re-engineering Six Sigma Lean production/manufacturing/practices

  8. Organizational Strategy and Structure Increased global competition has forced many organizations to become more cost competitive Organizations outsource parts and sub-components globally Changes in government regulations and taxation policies can change market conditions Organisations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) the European Union (EU) and North America free trade Agreement (NAFTA) help organizations compete in a global market

  9. Organizational Strategy and Structure Ability to innovate and change Relations with customers and suppliers An organization’sstrengths andweaknesses depend upon: Brand names, Patents and employees Balancesheet assets Asset structure

  10. Organizational Strategy and Structure Three major elements of organizational structure Assignment of Responsibilities Performance Measurement Compensation

  11. Organizational Strategy and Structure Assignment of Responsibility Manager KnowledgeableIndividual Control Including Accounting Performance Measures

  12. Organizational Strategy and Structure • Good Performance Measures • Use accounting-based and non-accounting based measures of performance • Should be consistent with the assignment of responsibilities

  13. Organizational Strategy and Structure The reward system consists of compensation and promotions and is based on the performance measures Promotion Dedicated parking space Company Car Salary and Bonus Office Space Health-club membership

  14. Customer Value and Organizational Value Customer value Organization Customer Inflow of Funds To create organizational it must be able to supply customer value at a cost less than or equal to the inflow of funds

  15. The Role of Management Accounting and Change The role of management accounting is to assist in control through the organizational structure and in making planning decisions by: Assigning responsibilities Providing managerial performance measures Identifying the costs and benefits of different planning decisions

  16. Total Quality Managementand Quality Measures Quality has become a major issue in both the profit and not-for-profit sectors Quality has multiple meanings Quality is generally defined as meeting customer expectations which include expectations about time to market, innovation, sustainability and cost

  17. Total Quality Managementand Quality Measures Total Quality Management (TQM) is the movement toward improved quality and customer satisfaction TQM is a management philosophy that includes involved leadership, employee participation, empowerment, teamwork, customer satisfaction and continuous improvement

  18. Involved Leadership Employee Participation Continual Improvement Employee Empowerment Customer Satisfaction Employee Teamwork Total Quality Managementand Quality Measures A Management Philosophy TQM

  19. Total Quality Managementand Quality Measures • Quality is a firm wide process • Quality is defined by the customer • Quality requires organizational changes • Quality is designed into the product

  20. Product Design # of new parts # of parts Vendor Rating # of defects On-time delivery Manufacturing Defect rates Scrap Rework Cycle time Customer Satisfaction Surveys Warranty expense Total Quality Managementand Quality Measures TQM Quality Measures

  21. Total Quality ManagementNumerical Example A farmer of gourmet tomatoes estimates that 10% of the 20,000kg of tomatoes picked do not meet customer’s satisfaction After being picked the tomatoes are placed on a conveyer belt for inspection and packaging. The inspection team identifies and removes 80% of the defective tomatoes. How many defective tomatoes reach the customer 20% of the defective tomatoes are not detected (0.20 x 0.10) = 2% reach the customer (0.2 x 20,000kg)= 400kg reach the customer

  22. Total Quality Management and Quality Measures Quality Costs Costs incurred to eliminate defective units before they are produced Costs incurred to eliminate defective units before they are shipped Prevention Costs Appraisal Costs Costs incurred when a customer receives a defective product Costs incurred when a defect is discovered before being sent to the customer Internal Failure Costs External Failure Costs

  23. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes JIT is an operating philosophy that emphasizes providing products on demand

  24. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes Traditional systems Warehousing of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory Customer Raw Materials Process One Process Two Process Three JIT system Process One Process Two Process Three Raw Materials Customer Order

  25. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes JIT seeks to minimize the throughput time, which is the total time from the receipt of the order to the time of delivery to the customer The goal is to drive waiting, transit, and inspection time to zero because these are non-value-added time

  26. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes Plant and warehouse space and cost savings Lower capital costs of holding inventory Benefitsof reducingthroughputtime Reduced risk of obsolescence Faster response to customers and reduced delivery times Reduced overhead costs for material movers and expediters

  27. Increase quality Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes Reducesetup times Plant layout To reduce throughput time, changes must be made in several areas Balance flow rates Change performance measurement and reward systems

  28. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes Numerical Example Macve Motors is adopting a JIT system. The current throughput time is 10 days. With a JIT system the throughput time should fall to 6 days This will lower its costs of holding work-in-process inventory. The average value of work-in-process inventory is £500,000 and the capital cost of holing inventory is 12% per year. What is the impact on holding costs if the JIT throughput time is as anticipated Annual cost of holding inventory £500,000 x 0.12 = £60,000 Holding cost under JIT £500,000 x 0.12 x 0.60 = £36,000 The annual cost decreases by 40% (£24,000)

  29. Just-in-Time (JIT) Processes Greater customer satisfaction Reduced WIPaccounting Differentperformancemeasures Lower product cost Internet B2Btransactions (EDI) Areas that are impacted by JIT include Changes to organizational strategy Automation allows for less setup time Fewer suppliers Simpler accounting Changes to role of management accounting Materials requirement planning (MRP)

  30. When Should Management Accounting Be Changed? • A single, ideal management accounting system that is optimum for all organizations does not exist • Each organization has different circumstances that lead to different management accounting systems • Organizations are in a continual state of flux thus management accounting must continually adapt

  31. When Should Management Accounting Be Changed? Warning signs that the management accounting system is not working well and needs to be changed • Dysfunctional behaviour on the part of managers due to inappropriate performance measures • Poor planning decisions • Inability to win bids to provide goods that are the company’s speciality

  32. When Should Management Accounting Be Changed? Each organization must continually evaluate and improve the management accounting system to meet the challenges of a dynamic environment and an adaptive organization
