Workshop on “Target Costing and Kaizen Costing” – Cost Management Methodologies-
16 May 2008: Auditorium, CMA Tower A-2E, Sector-24, NOIDA.

In order to satisfy customers, a firm needs to maximize its efficiency throughout its entire value chain. If efficiency is not maximized throughout the entire value chain, costs might rise above those of rivals and it might be difficult to recoup these higher costs through increase of price. It is evident that management accounting has greatly evolved in response to the shift in business environment. New ranges of approaches and practices like Target Costing and Kaizen Costing have emerged for strategic positioning or strategic cost management. Closely associated with the determination and exploitation of competitive advantage, accounting for strategic positioning aims to generate information which supports senior management’s attempts to achieve or sustain a competitive position in the market, relative to competitors.

Emerged in the 1960s at Toyota, Target Costing is one of the strategic cost management approaches better suited to strengthen a company’s competitiveness in meeting today’s business challenges. Unlike the conventional cost-plus approach, Target Costing is an “open system” which links external and internal factors from the inception. The activities to optimize the key success factors (cost, quality, innovation, and time) of a product are carried out mainly at the development and design phases, involving a multi-functional team of a company’s participating functions as well as other members of value-chain, mainly the suppliers.

Target costing approach is widely used in various manufacturing industries such as automobile, electronic, electrical, precision equipment and many other process industries across the globe.

Once the product is developed, firms introduce process improvement methods to carry the profitability further through the manufacturing cycle. Often the improvement efforts are in isolation without their impact being traced to the bottom-line. Kaizen Costing fills this gap.

Kaizen costing maintains the current cost levels for currently manufactured products and works systematically to reduce costs to desired levels. The main objective of Kaizen costing is the relentless pursuit of cost reduction at every stage of manufacturing to help close any gaps between target profits and the current estimated profits.

Employed together with Target costing, Kaizen costing helps achievement of cost reduction goals in the entire product design-development-production cycle.

In order to give an insight on the two cost methodologies and help to develop a Model for Strategic Cost Reduction as a Managerial Response to Market Orientation, CII is organizing a One Day Workshop on Target Costing and Kaizen Costing.

The details of the programme are as follows:

Date : Friday, 16 May 2008
Time : 0900 hrs – 1715 hrs
Venue : Auditorium, CMA Tower, A-2E, Sector-24, Noida- 201301
