How do managers measure an activity's performance?


Managers can measure an activity's performance by evaluating the difference between its actual and budgeted costs. With this information, they can analyze variances in activity levels, identify waste and inefficiencies, and take action to improve processes and activities. They can also continue to monitor the costs of nonvalue-adding activities to see if the company met its goals of reducing or eliminating those costs.
