Strategic Cost Management in Supply Chains

Part 1: Structural Cost Management

Shannon W. Anderson and Henri C. Dekker

Abstract: Strategic cost management is the deliberate alignment of a firm’s

resources and associated cost structure with long-term strategy and short-term

tactics. Although managers continue to pursue efficiency and effectiveness within

the firm increasingly, Improvements are obtained across the value chain: through

reconfiguring firm boundaries, relocating resources, reengineering processes, and

re-evaluating product and service offerings in relation to customer requirements.

In this article, we review strategic cost management, especially structural cost

management. Structural cost management employs tools of organizational design,

product design, and process design to create a supply chain cost structure that is

coherent with firm strategy.

Key wards: structural cost management; supply chain; competitive Advantage

value chain. As the value of purchased materials and services as a share of selling

price has increased ,firms find themselves managing complex supply chains, that

include global suppliers, contract manufacturers, service centers and so on. Firms

should pay attention to the value chain, so that they can obtain the room of

development.

Cost management research has tended to fall into two related streams. The

first research stream examine whether and how firms configure accounting data to

support value chain analysis ; The second research stream attempt to derive the

relationship between a firm’s strategy and cost structure. The focus is on the

causal relation between activity levels and the resources that are required. These

research streams take as given the firm’s strategy and structure and focus on

whether accounting records are capable of reflecting or detecting the economics

of the chosen strategy. In this review we take Shank’s broader perspective that

much of what constitutes strategic cost management is found in choices about

organizational strategy and structure. Following Anderson, we define “strategic

cost management” as deliberate decision making aimed at aligning the firm’s

cost structure with its strategy and with managing the enactment of the strategy.

We focus on interactions across firm boundaries; Specially, the buyer/supplier
