This document discusses target costing, which is a process that develops costs for a product or service based on market considerations like the target price customers will pay. It involves estimating the target price, target profit, and target cost. Target cost is calculated as the target price minus the target profit. The key steps are computing the target cost, setting gross target sales and operating income, then determining the target cost per unit. The benefits are a focus on customers, cross-functional involvement, and commitment to innovation. Potential downsides include delays from overloaded features, and conflicts from pressure to excessively cut costs.

The document discusses how different industries implement target costing to meet customer expectations. It provides examples from the automotive, technological, circuit board, and banking industries.
In the automotive industry, Toyota uses kaizen costing where teams work together to ensure product costs allow for profitability at the required market price. In technology, HP uses target costing in printer development to balance performance and costs as product lifecycles shorten. PCB manufacturers negotiate with suppliers and use value engineering to achieve target costs. The Central Bank of Morocco implemented ABC to improve performance, quality of service, and understand costs better for strategic planning.
This document provides an overview of Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing. It defines JIT as a system designed to produce output with minimum lead time and lowest cost by eliminating waste. The objectives of JIT are to produce only what customers want, when they want it, with perfect quality and no waste. McDonald's is used as an example of implementing JIT through making food only after it is ordered, which reduces waste and waiting times. The benefits of JIT for McDonald's include improved quality from fresh preparation, better customer service through customizable orders, and reduced costs through less wasted materials.
Target costing is a technique used to design products and processes to achieve a target cost that allows the product to be sold at a predetermined price and achieve the desired profit margin. It focuses on reducing costs during the design stage when changes are easier to make. Implementing target costing involves determining specifications, price, profit, and calculating the target cost. The gap between estimated and target costs is then closed through redesigning the product or process. Value analysis examines which features customers value and which costs can be reduced without affecting customer perceived quality.

Nokia was once the dominant player in the mobile phone market but has since experienced a decline. It went through typical phases of a product life cycle, including growth as it launched popular models but then maturity as competitors emerged. Nokia's market share declined significantly as it failed to keep up with the shift to smartphones dominated by Android and iOS. This led Nokia to partner exclusively with Microsoft for its Windows platform, but Windows phones failed to gain traction. As a result, in 2013 Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile phone business altogether, marking the fall of what was once the top mobile brand.
The Savings Bank of Mongolia, which had over 1.7 million customers and 503 branches, declared bankruptcy on July 22, 2013 after an audit revealed its assets were 94 billion MNT short of what was reported. The bankruptcy was largely caused by loans the Savings Bank had made to its parent company, Just Group, and other subsidiaries of Just Group, which left the bank unable to make up the deficit in its assets. In particular, large loans from foreign banks to Just Group's subsidiary Olon Ovoot Gold LLC contributed to financial issues at the Savings Bank beginning in 2011. Mongolia's deteriorating business environment and weaknesses in its banking sector regulation also highlighted the fragile state of the country's financial system at the time.

Quantitative easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the economy through increasing the money supply when standard policies are ineffective. It works by having the central bank buy financial assets like treasury bonds from banks, increasing their prices and lowering interest rates. This aims to encourage borrowing and spending by businesses and households. The document outlines the history of QE programs in the US since 2008 and discusses whether they achieved their goals as well as the potential benefits like economic growth and risks like higher inflation.
Quantitative easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the economy by increasing the money supply when standard policies are ineffective. It involves central banks buying assets like government bonds or other securities to inject money directly into the financial system. While QE aims to increase lending, spending, and job growth, it also poses risks like potentially fueling inflation and discouraging exports. As a result, QE is usually only used as a last resort to support the economy during severe downturns.
