SAP Engineering & Construction: Activity-Based Costing With R/3 at ABB Industrie AG
Overview ABB Industrie AG is a global player in international markets which not only exhibit low growth rates due to strong international competition but are also subject to constant price pressure. To meet challenges like these, ABB has implemented programs like Customer Focus and Total Optimization of Processes (TOP) worldwide. These programs are geared to continuous process orientation and optimization. The conventional, function-related accounting system proved to be inadequate for the process optimization undertaking at hand. It was impossible to determine the process costs both before and after optimization and the requirements for costing based on cause-effect relationships could also not be satisfied. In the light of these circumstances, the company decided to implement Activity-Based Costing (ABC) into their R/3 infrastructure.
