# value is not created until products are sold # there is no such P&L account as "revenues from production" (i.e. revenues from goods made and stored as inventory) # costs of the not sold production (represented by material costs) are treated as variable and depress the throughput, as well as the throughput accounting ratio. # managers are encouraged to use the bottleneck resource to manufacture products for which there is demand, as in a JIT environment # organizations should adhere to production schedules and it is important to get things right from the first time # total factory costs, overheads shoud be allocated per products based on the usage of each product of the bottleneck resource. # management and accounting staff should get back to an understanding of what is happening on the shop floor and adapt performance measurements accordingly.

What are advantages and disadvantages of having a uniform accounting standard globally?

One of the advantages of having a uniform accounting standard is knowing that you are comparing apples to apples if you were comparing two companies results. For example, if you were comparing a US company that used US GAAP and a company in India which used different accounting standards, you could not be sure that any comparisons would be based on the same methodology. With a uniform accounting standard, all companies would be required to value/measure and report their results the same way, therefore you could do a better comparison between the two companies.
