El costeo objetivo en el proceso de planeación. Target Costing in Planning Process
Laydis Armela Blanco
Resumen
Debido a las constantes exigencias del mercado en el que operan las empresas y a la competencia internacional, las instituciones se han visto obligadas a crear y mantener ventajas competitivas que les permitan incrementar la productividad, proporcionar una adecuada atención a los clientes, alcanzar calidad y maximizar el tiempo. En estas acciones, el costo objetivo desempeña un importante papel, pues su enfoque se diferencia de la manera tradicional de determinación de los costos, lo que permite a las empresas no solo la reducción de estos y el aumento de los beneficios, sino también realizar una adecuada planeación, control y toma de decisiones. En el presente artículo se pretende abordar, con visión crítica, la significación de la planeación en el costo objetivo y si es posible o no su implementación en las condiciones actuales de la economía cubana.
Palabras clave: costo meta, estrategia, gestión, reducción de costos.
Abstract
Due to the constant exigencies of markets in which companies operate, and international competition, these are obliged to build and maintain competitive advantage which allows them to increase productivity, provide adequate customer service, achieve high quality, and maximize time. Target cost plays an important role therein because its approach differs from the traditional way of determining costs, which allows companies to reduce them and increase profit, as well as plan, control, and make decisions adequately. This paper is aimed at critically examining the importance of planning to target cost, and weather it is possible or not its implementation in the current conditions of the Cuban economy.
