Included in cost allocation are direct‚ indirect‚ and incremental costs. Direct costs‚ or separable costs‚ are costs that are related to a single type of service

To make cost estimates‚ project managers use cost analysis; a discipline that attempts to forecast the ultimate cost of a project. The difficulty about this analysis‚ especially for complex projects‚ is that there are a lot of uncertainties about cost items such as technology‚ productivity of human resources‚ economic conditions‚ market conditions‚ prices‚ inflation and other future risks and events. In general uncertainty occurs for a number of reasons: • Uniqueness (no similar experience) ⁎ Corresponding

1. Why is scheduling fairly simple for repetitive systems but fairly complex for job shops? Scheduling for repetitive systems is fairly simple because the activities and equipment used is the same. This goes for high-volume and medium volume systems because the productions are the similar. Scheduling for job shops is more difficult because the products formed are customized or of a personal nature and therefore are not mass produced. Stevenson‚ William J.
