Explicit Cost Dynamics: An Alternative to Activity-Based Costing

Book Description

GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTOM LINE

Traditional cost management systems typically defeat their own purpose by leading corporations to make decisions that ultimately do not optimize performance. These systems are the foundation for decisions that are made throughout the corporation. In order for organizations to increase performance beyond current capabilities, a new approach is needed that addresses issues such as understanding the true impact of various actions on the bottom line-and eliminating methods that distort numbers and narrow options. Explicit Cost Dynamics (ECD) offers such an alternative, and this expertly written, revolutionary book provides an indispensable introduction to the subject.

Informative and easy-to-read, Explicit Cost Dynamics:

Provides an alternative view and understanding of the impact of costs, actions, and time on the bottom line of a corporation
Explains how this new theory can lead to an overall profit maximization
Shows that costs can be considered as either a function of activities performed, as a function of resources expended, or of time
Shows that the difference between explicit dollars flowing into and out of a company is equal to the rate of change of cash
. . . and much more to help CEOs, CFOs, controllers, cost managers, financial managers, and others involved in the decision-making process improve their organizations' overall bottom lines.

That was my objective.......2004-08-07

In writing this book, my objective was to cut through the fog created by all existing cost accounting approaches to understand just how costs behave and how to influence them. We are told and tend to believe that increasing productivity automatically reduces costs. But if the person still works for you and receives the same salary, their cost is the same no matter how productive they are. This and many other costing concepts are mathematically and logically invalid, so ECD corrects them.

I would recommend the papers as supplements as M Britton mentioned. Explicit Cost Dynamics is a technical foundation upon which lots of concepts are built. Essentials of Capacity Management takes a critical explicit cost dynamics concept, resources, and explains their operational and financial dynamics. The papers are based on consulting experiences and challenge existing management thought. Is time money? How do I create a reliable business case? Does target costing really have an impact on the bottom line as described? What is the true impact of inventory reduction on cash flow. What is the true value proposition for technology implementation?

Those who have shared their implementation with me have been extremely pleased with the results. The problem is, no one wants to talk about it because they do not want to give away the secrets to their costing philosophy! Why tell a competitor that you know something about costing that they don't?

Costing Clarified.......2004-08-06

Reading this book created a clear understanding of how costs really work in our company and it helped us get past the age old costing myths that created bad decisions. I went to the authors website and the articles made the concepts that much clearer. Just in the pilots that we have run with ECD we have found that we made a unexpected improvements on our project costing and our product pricing. More than any other book that I have read lately this book helps us create a substantial competitive advantage in our market. It has become my costing bible.

A Book to Study and USE!.......2002-05-12

In today's job market, it is challenging to attract the best-qualified and well-suited job applicants. It is even more difficult to retain excellent employees. The cost of employee turnover is high in terms of lost productivity, lost knowledge, and financial expense associated with filling the vacancy.

Roger Herman, futurist and certified management consultant and speaker, provides an exceptional resource for any organization seeking to retain its best employees. Keep Good People is divided into three sections. The first effectively sets the stage by providing valuable insights into the competitive nature of the job market, the value of good employees, and what prompts employees to stay and leave an employer. The first section provides essential background that led to an essential, yet basic understanding of employer/employee relations regarding retention. Section two provides nearly 200 very specific and useful strategies. Each strategy is clearly defined and concisely explained. Herman does not stop with a somewhat overwhelming list of strategies, yet provides suggestions for implementation and an "eye to the future" in section three.

Keep Good People is an excellent resource for human resource professionals and managers seeking to prevent undesirable employee turnover as well for the organizations seeking to reduce turnover. Use this book as a guide to simply review current practices and development of strategic, and it will be well worth the investment of both time and money.

Worforce Retention "Bible".......2001-03-02

Commonsense, practical advice about what employers can do to enhance the longevity of their workforce and halt the drain and the expense of 'revolving door' recruiting and hiring.

Find out the top 5 real reasons why people leave their jobs (and it isn't for more money!).

This book is invaluable and a 'must have' for everyone responsible for recruiting, hiring, and hanging on to, good people!

Great Opportunity to Build Your Team!.......2001-01-03

My secretary Neicy, picked up my copy of "Keeping Good People" while I was out of the office. When I returned, she mentioned that she thought a certain strategy would help me and our business. And she was right! Full of "one page strategies," this book provides some terrific team conversation. Pick a strategy, read it and then discuss its implications on your team and how the team works together. Some random examples: Strategy 1.17 Promote a healthy working environment. Strategy 2.27 Be accessible. Strategy 3.35 Fight Boredom. Strategy 4.15 Provide incentives for for growth. Strategy 5.15 Give Away Lottery Tickets. Our team decided to discuss one of these strategies each time we meet (usually at "tea time" held at 3pm each day). While some of the strategies may not apply, it does create a space for great conversation. When given the opportunity, team members or "employees" will reinforce what's working well and tell you what they need to be successful.

A helpful book on a critical area.......2000-09-23

Roger Herman gives us an excellent reference and guide to an important area of profitability for business. Keeping people is every bit as important as finding them in the first place. The techniques set forth in this book will benefit the employer and the employee as well. It is well organized and to the point, especially in areas of making the employee part of the overall team.

Wayne D. Ford, Ph.D., author of "The Recruiting and Retention Handbook" docwifford@msn.com

A great book!.......2000-04-11

Finding, attracting and hiring new employees can be one of the most important investments employers can make. If don't hire good people, you'll have to continue recruitment at a high level -- a costly proposition. This book serves as a great guide and serves as a tremendous tool for employers and human resource staff.

Customer Reviews:

An Excellent Gift for your College Graduate!.......2006-10-05

Actually, this book is an excellent gift to anyone who has an "inquiring mind". I think this book is a *must* read for everyone, regardless of your particular belief, or lack thereof, in a Supreme Being. It is a bit tedious at points, as are most "legal cases". Be warned that some of the arguments are math-heavy, but well worth understanding.

This is not a book that says, "There, I've proven that God exists!". It certainly doesn't attempt to make a case for "Creationism". It also doesn't claim that "Evolution" is a hoax, etc.

This book simply attempts to explain why existing theories, regarding the creation of the universe, and life on this planet, are not "air tight", and thus, proven "beyond a reasonable doubt". Logic and reason are the tools used. And math, as I mentioned

Also, note the following quote from one recent Nobel Prize winner, an astronomer who received the Nobel for his work on the Big Bang Theory:

"There really is not a good alternative explanation for having such a perfect black body spectrum. Many people looked, but no good explanation was found, so the Big Bang theory is confirmed by that spectrum," - John C. Mather, in an interview with the Nobel Foundation

With all due respect to Mr. Mather and his work, this book will help you understand why his statement would not "stand up in court".

While the book isn't completely up-to-date on all "evidence", all of the arguments are still valid and can be applied to all new "evidence". Specifically, unlike in Las Vegas Casinos, the "rules" haven't changed and neither have the "odds".

If you don't like my review, at least you have to admit that it's cool that I was able to put references to a Supreme Being, the Nobel Prize, Atheists and Creationists in the same context as Las Vegas Casinos. :)

One of the most airtight arguments against an evolutionary origin of life ever written........2005-08-26

If this treatment of the subject of origins doesn't convince skeptics that holding onto the belief that life arose from non-life is an operation of faith rather than science, then nothing will. Over and over, Overman (no pun intended) demonstrates, in exhaustive detail, the fact that there is absolutely no principle in the laws of physics, chemistry, or astronomy that speaks to the origin of INFORMATION necessary for life to exist. And not just a little information; MILLIONS of specific, different, instructions necessary for the simplest form of life to exist. The belief (which is exactly how to describe the view: a belief) that information arose from non-information defies all logical limits, even based upon the most conservative estimates, and is simply not scientific.

Now, I am not saying that "faith" is a foolish position. In fact, to believe in the possibility of something existing that is merely beyond our ability to measure is a reasonable position. It simply and humbly admits that our knowledge and ability to measure is, and always will be, finite. Therefore, we must always admit that some non-material, non-energy, non-dimension things may exist that we simply lack the ability to detect. Such a faith is simply a logical conclusion in the face of our finiteness in the universe. To the contrary, a faith in the mathematically impossible, as defined and limited to a known set of parameters (the laws of nature and the irreducible complexity of the genetic code), is beyond all reasonable definitions of faith and just plain fool hearty. It reminds me of Jim Carrey's memorable line in the movie Dumb and Dumber when the female lead tells him that he only has a one in a million chance of getting a date with her, to which he exclaims, "So your saying I have a chance!" The only difference is that the probability of the simplest DNA or RNA molecule forming by accident in the best case scenario conceivable, is one in a million, million, million, million, million, million chance. Now, if Intelligent Design proponents are made out to be as dumb as Jim Carrey's character with a one in a million chance, then I wonder who's dumber?

A few comments.......2005-04-17

First, one problem with this book is that it is open to the same objections as the speculative science it attempts to disprove. The Creationists and Creation By Design proponents say that evolution and cosmology is "just a theory" and that random chance can't account for our universe, and that the Biblical theory is just as "scientific." Perhaps, but the only "proof" that the Biblical theory is true is unprovable assumption and claim that the Bible is revealed truth and therefore unquestionable. However, the books of the Bible were written thousands of years ago, and in many cases, no one really knows who wrote them, and where the original stories such as the Creation came from. They could be traditional Hebrew myths, or they could be the word of God. However, no one really knows. Why this is thought to be just as justifiable and valid an argument as the scientific theories which explain far more about the nature of reality is never really made clear.

The second problem is the book's attempt to call into question all the science in the first place. You can't call evolution and cosmology bad science and then say that the Bible is exempt from the same requirements for verifiability and empirical evidence. You can't have it both ways. Either you accept science as a valid means of getting knowledge about the universe (and science has enabled us to learn far more than anything in the Bible, as the Biblical "theory" of creation is no theory at all and basically tells us nothing except that God created the universe) or you don't, in which case, you can't use real (or even bogus) science to bolster the Biblical claims to truth or exempt them from the same requirements for verification.

Thirdly, it seems hypocritical to me for Creationists to be willing to accept all the many advantages of science, such as technology, modern medicine, and all the modern advances and conveniences, both large and small, that have come from that, while refusing to accept the one or two areas, such as evolution and cosmology, which conflict with their beliefs.

Finally, my main problem with this whole "scientific" approach to religion is that it attempts to rationalize that which is ultimately a matter of faith, and something which transcends human reason and science.

Here, I agree with Paul Tillich, probably the greatest Christian theologian, on this issue, which is that attempting to do this debases faith on the one hand, by making it subject to human standards, and debases science on the other hand, by making it a matter of faith rather than objective and empirical evidence and reasoning. Science and faith are two totally different things and never the twain shall meet, because one relates to the spiritual world which transcends our understanding, and the other relates to the ordinary world of mundane reality. People who attempt to rationalize faith do a serious disservice to it. Either you have faith or you don't. That's why it's called "faith, and whether the science itself is true or not, has nothing to do with it.

If you accept the working premise, I guess it makes sense.......2004-03-08

The problem I have with this book is the assumption that "accident" and "self-organization" equal the same thing.

Can't help but wonder, if it's so statistically improbable that molecules could form (and, by the way, the better arguments in favor of this proposition are conveniently glossed over), where did God come from? (Talk about statistically improbable...)

An excellent contribution.......2003-01-14

Regardless of one's religious faith (or lack thereof), one has to admit that the worldview of the 19th/20th centuries is aging badly. The belief that all of reality is mere matter and that random, undirected processes produce complexity has been battered by advances in just about every discipline one can think of: mathematics, Physics, chemistry, genetics, information theory, and even Psychiatry (e.g., Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz's discovery that OCD patients are able to use their minds to re-wire their brains) have left the 20th century's mechanized world view in tough shape.

This book is a good primer about the logical fallacies of the old world view. Randomness simply doesn't produce order without the prior existence of information and a directed process. There is no mention of God here; if you are a resolute atheist, like the reviewer from "USA," feel free to propose a universe guided by aliens from another dimension. But whatever one's philosophical persuasion, one simply can't defend the old world view by calling its critics "religious."

This is an excellent book to get a feel for the problems with materialism. What will take its place in the future remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure: we are on the verge of a massive paradigm shift that dwarfs anything else that ever rocked the intellectual world.

Book Description

The accurate interpretation of infrared spectra of organic structures is an extremely important tool for the analytical chemist. Using up-to-date source material, this volume presents a compilation of the infrared absorption regions of ninety of the most important organic molecular fragments. This highly practical guide introduces the reader to a straightforward technique for determining all the fundamental vibrations of a molecular fragment. The set of normal vibrations and the infrared absorption regions of ninety molecular fragments are then discussed and tabulated. The discussion of each fragment is accompanied by a large number of references. A Guide to the Complete Interpretation of Infrared Spectra of Organic Structures offers the analytical chemist the possibility of a more profound interpretation of infrared spectra. In addition, it assumes only a basic knowledge of infrared spectra, and so will prove very useful for non-specialists who use infrared spectroscopy in analysis.

Why the physical, tangible, real world is the way it is........2002-02-08

This excellent textbook is less than 300 pages, and yet I didn't feel like I learned any less than someone who read a 1000 page textbook on the same subject. This is a comprehensive, introductory volume that is, surprisingly for a textbook, extremely well written. This book delivered Biogeography to my mind, and my great teacher Dr Patrick Armstrong of Univeristy of Western Australia made it come alive in my head. Everything you need to lead you into the fascinating study of our tangible world is here. Read it!

Excellent work.......2007-01-31

It takes a couple of chapters to get into the details and there seems to be a language unfamiliarity issue but overcoming this Simhony provides a very clear and understandable explaination of why physical realities occur thru an electron positron lattice model of space. The model seems to explain all the physical interactions and phenomenon that I was exposed to during several years of undergraduate level physics and quite frankly explains properties taken as intrinsicis such as "why does mass exhibit properties of inertia?". Simhony also explains the mass energy relation by dispelling the notion that energy creates mass or the spontaneous generation of particles when radiation is applied to the "vacuum of space" in that the mass was always within that space in the lattice and was meerely bumped out of the lattice.

I would love to see experiments directly conducted to prove or disprove Simhony's theory.

On the Road Again--in a fun, new way!.......2003-03-03

Would it be a dream vacation, or a nightmare on wheels? Alice Bristol wasn't at all sure about it when her husband, George, came home from work, announcing that his boss wanted them to "hit the road" in a company-provided super RV. Alice came equipped with middle-age mood swings, and George suddenly turned into a history expert as they headed down the Lewis and Clark Expedition route.
In typical husband-wife closely confined quarters, it was not all a bed of roses, but they soon found great delight in the people they met on the way, as well as the beauty of the USA. There are some "mishaps" from "human errors" they both make, but the whole adventure takes on a strange turn when the people they meet seem to mimc the people involved in the original Lewis and Clark trip. It is almost like a road trip into the Twilight Zone!
If you are planning a trip of your own, this is a "must read" to prepare you for the experience. If you don't plan such a trip, by all means live the excitement vicariously through George and Alice in "The Bristol Expedition." You're in for the ride of your life!
