When is a hybrid costing system appropriate in a manufacturing setting?


A hybrid costing system combines characteristics of both job order and process costing systems. Such a system would be appropriate in a manufacturing setting where products can be mass produced up to a certain point and then must be customized after that point. For example an automobile manufacturer that sells a wide variety of options on vehicles would use a hybrid costing system--process for manufacturing the chassis and motor, then job order for the distinguishing features such as specialized interiors. Likewise a company that manufactured different types of clothes would use job order costing for the materials but process costing for processing the materials into finished products.
