2. Areas where continuous improvement might be incorporated into the budgeting process:
(a) Direct materials. Either an improvement in usage or price could be budgeted. For example, the
budgeted usage amounts could be related to the maximum improvement (current usage – minimum
possible usage) of 1 square foot for either desk:
Some students suggested the 1% be applied to the 16 and 25 square-foot amounts. This can be done so
long as after several improvement cycles, the budgeted amount is not less than the minimum desk
requirements.
(b) Direct manufacturing labor. The budgeted usage of 3 hours/5 hours could be continuously revised on a
monthly basis. Similarly, the manufacturing labor cost per hour of $30 could be continuously revised down.
The former appears more feasible than the latter.
(c) Variable manufacturing overhead. By budgeting more efficient use of the allocation base, a signal is
given for continuous improvement. A second approach is to budget continuous improvement in the
budgeted variable overhead cost per unit of the allocation base.
(d) Fixed manufacturing overhead. The approach here is to budget for reductions in the year-to-year
amounts of xed overhead. If these costs are appropriately classi ed as xed, then they are more difficult
to adjust down on a monthly basis.
