[Joseph Gary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Of the many books I've read on ABC/M, this one was quite disappointing. It's take on traditional work measurement (time studies) was off the mark. Without taking the time for accurate data, far more egregious decisions can be made via trying to guess at process cycle times.

Read O'Guin or Cokins for more insight into ABC/M.

Good management book written by cost guru Robert Kaplan, also known from Activity Based Costing and Balanced Score Card.
