Activity-based management and activity-based costing (ABM/ABC)
have brought about radical change in cost management systems.
ABM has grown largely out of the work of the Texas-based
Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing-International (CAM-I). No
longer is ABM's applicability limited to manufacturing organisations.
The principles and philosophies of activity-based thinking apply
equally to service companies, government agencies and process
industries. The acronym itself has evolved from ABC to ABCM (activity-based cost management) to ABM, and the application of ABC
evolved from a manufacturing product costing orientation to a management philosophy of activity management applied in industries and
organisations other than manufacturing.

What is the main difference between activity based costing and attribute based costing?
activity based costing does not promote TQM(total quality management) and continuous improvement but attribute based costing promotes the both.
Activity-based costing is a means of more accurately accounting for direct labor cost?
False. Activity-based costing is used to allocate indirect cost into direct costs.Regardng direct cost, traditional costing is as appropriate as activity-based costing.
How does activity based costing differ from traditional based costing?
Activity based costing has primary difference of allocation of overheads which are based on activities performed by any department while in traditional costing system overheads are allocated on predetermined rate which may be not very accurate.
What is the differences between activity-based costing and traditional product costs?
In traditional costing, overheads are allocated using blanket rate while in activity based costing overheads are allocated by the activities performed.
Does Toyota use Activity based costing?
yes

What activities does activity based management encompass?
ABM strategically incorporates activity analysis, activity-based costing (ABC), activity-based budgeting, life cycle and target costing, process value analysis, and value-chain analysis.
Does Toyota use Activity based costing?
yes
How would you describe activity based costing?
Activity-based costing is a form of cost refinement, designed to obtain greater accuracy than traditional allocations in cost assignments for product costing and decision-making purposes.
Why activity based costing?
Activity based costing allocate the overhead expenses based on activities performed and that's why it is an accurate way to allocate overhead expenses while in absorption costing, overheads are allocated based on some ratios or predetermined rate which is not accurate method of allocation of cost.
How is activity based costing better than traditional cost assignment systems?
Activity-based costing tries to take the nonuniformity of resource consumption across products into account in the assignment of costs.
Does Activity Based Costing produce an accurate costing picture?
Hi Activity Based Costing could be seen as the 'Cause-and-Effect' realtionship in the costs. If we extend this logic then we can segregate all the costs in four sections. a) Product Costs b) Customer Costs c) Business Sustaining Costs d) Cost available to use In this sense the Activity Basedd Costing gives an accurate costing picture.
