providing a supportive environment in which reliable and relevant management
information can be generated. Such a cost management system is only attainable
if the importance of key business, operational and stakeholder requirements are
recognised within the organisational context. In illustrating this importance, this
book provides several case studies as examples thereof. The first two case studies
focus on the engineering sector and illustrates the development of a cost
management system in a water recycling context; and the design of a budgetary
system in a mining engineering context. The remaining case studies focus on the
services sector, including cost management systems for a digital technology
services provider and a medical insurance services provider; an alternative
activity-based costing approach for a public sector services provider; and finallya re-designed value stream for an automotive services provider. Academic
researchers and industry managers in the fields of management accounting and
financial management, as well as engineering and operations management, will
find value in the experiences described herein.
