| Research Abstract |
Japanese manufacturing companies have made great efforts to produce high-quality products at low cost in the global markets, and consequently they are competitive regarding quality, costs, and delivery. Since cost management is crucial to global manufacturing companies' competitiveness, the purpose of the research is to make it clear that cost accounting and cost management are integrity so that manufacturing companies could be competitive. The results of the research are follows:
Japanese manufacturing companies calculate costs multiplying Gentan-i(Usage of resources) by Rate(price of resources per unit), and they tend to reduce Gentan-I in target costing, cost improvement, and cost maintenance for cost reduction. US manufacturing companies and European manufacturing companies also calculate costs in the similar way of Japanese. However, they tend to reduce Rate for cost reduction by using Group procurement, Outsourcing, Spin-offs, and so on.
