Abstract

With the development of society, market competition becomes increasingly fierce, companieswant to achieve stable development and efficient profits, strengthen its internal managementand cost control are important measures to enhance the economic efficiency of enterprises. In business management and cost control, statistical work plays an important role, which cannot only reduce the operating costs in enterprise management, clarify receipts and disbursements of enterprise, while also has an important significance for improving enterprise management and cost control quality, and promoting the healthy development of enterprises. This study analyzes the development cost control situation of enterprise, the application of statistics in business management and cost control, and finally with examples to have detailed in-depth analysis of the statistical applications in business management and cost control, for reference. With the rapid development of market economy, competition among enterprises is constantly increasing, in the new situation, many enterprises in order to enhance their economic benefit, the focus of the work is placed on the expansion of the market, at the meanwhile of expanding the company's market share, cost management and cost control are effective ways for enterprises to obtain benefits. While statistical work plays an important role in the corporate cost control and business management, statistics can make a clear presentation of the financial situation of enterprise, which leads to a clear understanding of the cost balance of enterprise, and strengthen the statistical work is an important way to enhance the economic benefit of enterprises. The cost control status in enterprise development As our country’s market economic continues to accelerate the current development pace, the competition among enterprises gradually intensifies, in the current competitive market, some enterprises bankrupt, some companies continue to expand. In the socialist market economy, once companies want to develop, their management needs to be strengthened. In expand development of enterprises, strengthen internal management can improve the overall competitive development of enterprises, and reduce production costs [1]. In the current work of business management, cost control work is the key to improve the effectiveness of enterprise economy, but also the focus of enterprise management, however, in the current corporate cost control, there are still some problems and deficiencies, such as in the development processes of logistics enterprises have the deficiencies in cost control: Firstly, the cost accounting have deficiencies. With China's economic development, the cost of business is divided into two parts, product costs and labor costs, in the working process of cost accounting, cost accounting is not independent, cost accounting of logistics enterprises only regard the transportation costs, the logistics company's costs as logistics costs, logistics profit and loss are not included in the logistic cost of enterprises.

With the constant improvement of China's market economy, companies’ focus on cost control has also been strengthened, although the company began to focus on cost control and statistical analysis, but in the actual cost control, the professional statistical knowledge about cost is weak and statistical methods are unscientific. Most of the cost accounting work of enterprises is held by corporate accounting staff, there is no professional statisticians of cost accounting. Thirdly, cost control system in cost control is imperfect. An enterprise management work,need to be provided security by some system, for an enterprise, cost management and cost control are effective to enhance the economic. In its cost management and cost control, implementation of cost statistical work can clear the balance of cost, but, the related system ofcost accounting has not been fully established in current enterprise development, thereby affecting the quality of cost management and corporate cost control. The statistical role in enterprise management and cost control In the process of enterprise development, the results of cost management and cost control directly affect the enterprise market competitive advantage, so in the process of enterprise development, cost control and corporate management need to be strengthened. In the process of management and cost control of enterprise, statistics work play an important role, forexample a logistics company in its cost control, make use of statistical methods to manage logistics cost, with statistical principles to rearrange, analyze and calculate data and information related to logistics costs, so as to acquire the effective cost data and build the mathematical model, then grasp the composition of enterprise logistics costs, as well as the status. In business management and cost control, with statistics can detail cost and expenditure,reduce costs, and to improve the market competitiveness of enterprises, which promote the upgrading of economic efficiency of enterprises. Statistics is the tool which provide data reference to enterprise cost expenditure or other activities, it can be applied in cost control and management of all phases of the enterprise. For example, in logistics and transport companies, statistical is applied to analyze the logistics cost, including transportation costs, storage costs, transportation costs is divided into maritime transport costs, the cost of air transport, road transport costs, etc., in storage costs, also contains the storage expense, warehousing costs, loss costs, service costs and so on [2]. In all aspects of cost control and enterprise management for statistics applications, control of each cost need to have statistical analysis, so the formation of a complete statistical system can ensure cost control and quality of management of enterprises. For example, in vehicle life-cycle management, accounting the time of vehicle purchase, the depreciation rate, maintenance costs, transportation repair costs, material costs, fuel costs, insurance premiums and other, and according to life-cycle cost of the vehicle in different periods to develop statistical models, through the model to estimate time of safe using of the vehicle. Statistical work has important significance and role in enterprise development, affecting the company'scost control and economic benefits, therefore, and the statistics of cost control need to be paid more attention during the process of enterprise development. Statistics applications in business management and cost control, will change the company's cost control system, build statistical indicators system to improve control quality. Statistics in management cost control of enterprise development can summarize the company's cost information and provide the enterprise management department with detailed cost statistics information, so as to help business managers and leaders to make the right decisions for the development of enterprises based on the statistical information of cost.
