Abstract

In order to solve the current problems of cost management in civil engineering industry by using traditional management accounting systems, an effective method of activity-based costing is presented. Activity-based costing has been suggested as the leading contender method to replace traditional cost accounting systems, since its capability can make the processes and activities performed in the organization more transparent and observable. The paper attempts to develop a cost accounting system based on the activity-based costing ideas. The proposed method can provide the useful information to manage total processes in civil engineering. Nine operations are suggested in the proposed method, such as processing, pre-processing, post-processing, moving, and so on. As seen from the result of the case, the proposed method is of efficiency and feasibility.
