Mission Based Costing

 

“Mission” is a set of customer service goals to be achieved by the system within the specific market/product context. A successful achievement of defined mission involves a large input from various activity centres of the firm. Hence the logistics costing should be able to identify the total costs of meeting a desired mission. This is referred as Mission Based Costing.

 

Essentially Mission Based Costing seeks to identity unique costs that are generated as a result of

specific logistics activities aimed to achieve certain objectives in a specific customer/market. There is no point in incurring additional costs if the additional benefits do not justify the same.

  • Identify the specifies specific resources used to support customer segments.
  • Attribute activity cost  by customer type or segment.
