Abstract
The collection, calculation, analysis and reporting of manufacturing costs is of great importance to all manufacturing companies. Tight monitoring and control of these costs is especially important on long lead manufacturing contracts.This research looks at the current developments taking place in cost accountancy and sets this in context with a specific job shop manufacturing company — GEC Energy Systems Ltd., Special Contracts Division.
A computerised system was successfully developed and implemented which improved the integrity, feedback and control of contract costs within the company.
The thesis concludes by proposing a number of design features for costing systems to be implemented in job-shop manufacturing companies.
