Article
The role of time-driven resource consumption accounting techniques in achieving competitive advantage

Siham Hussein

Pages: 280-294

PDF Full Text
Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of time-directed resource consumption accounting (TD-RCA) techniques in achieving competitive advantage for economic units by improving costing accuracy, rationalizing resource consumption, and enhancing product quality. TD-RCA relies on analyzing resource consumption based on the actual time of activities, which helps determine the fair cost of products, reduce waste, and achieve higher operational efficiency.

Process reengineering also contributes to the redesign of manufacturing activities with the aim of eliminating unnecessary processes and enhancing customer value, leading to reduced costs and improved product quality. The research focuses on the application of these two techniques in a ready-made garment factory in Najaf. The results showed that combining the two techniques helps reduce overall costs, increase the factory's competitiveness, and enhance its responsiveness to market demands.

The research recommends the adoption of these modern techniques in cost management, given their positive impact on achieving a sustainable competitive advantage, achieving optimal resource utilization, and enhancing production efficiency.

The impact of supply chain analysis on enhancing the effectiveness of the accounting information system: an applied study at the National Company for Chemical and Plastic Industries

Reham Salah, Ali Al-Obaidi

Pages: 287-301

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Given the challenges facing Iraqi industry—such as limited government support and the high cost of production compared to imported goods—industrial organizations are in urgent need of adopting effective technologies to improve their operational efficiency. Supply chain analysis stands out as one of the most significant of these technologies, as it helps optimize the flow of materials and information, reduce costs, and enhance the accuracy of accounting data.

This study aims to highlight the impact of supply chain analysis on strengthening the effectiveness of the accounting information system through a field application at the National Company for Chemical and Plastic Industries. The findings indicate that integrating supply chain activities with the accounting system contributes to improving the quality of financial information, controlling costs, and supporting managerial decision-making. The study further recommends the development of digital systems that integrate logistical and accounting functions, along with training personnel on modern technologies. 

Keywords: supply chain, accounting information system, operational efficiency, cost reduction , effective and ineffective activities.
