SECTION III
OVERHEAD COST PROGRAM
III-1
GENERAL INFORMATION REVIEW
Selection number one of the main menu is for General
Information File Review. This is where you review the
general information about your project. This information can
then be used to head all the printouts that you call up in
this program. There is also, other pertinent information not
used in headers but necessary to document the project. The
example below begins after selecting menu item number 1. If
you need to edit this information, you must do it in the
furniture and equipment program.

The review portions are there to allow you to reassure
yourself that you in fact have all the data you need to
develop overhead costs. If you find some area lacking, you
will have to correct the data deficiency in the furniture and
equipment program. Considerable time can be saved by
answering all questions asked in their order, regardless of
how unimportant they seem at the time.
OVERHEAD COST INPUT
This routine can be used to develop overhead costs
chargeable to each operation. These costs are developed as
straight line costs and no attempt is made at front or back
loading. In regard to real estate or capital equipment no
computation is made along a decay and obsolescence curve.
The thrust of this study is to generate an awareness in the
first line managers, of environmental costs impacting the
efficiency of the operations they manage. Any effort beyond
developing empirical trends is wasted. These costs are not
intended to be used in an accounting sense.
All costs requested are to be annualized. This allows the
averaging of seasonal differences. Two categories are
developed. They are Facilities and Process. Three cost
areas are provided under each category. Under the Facilities
category they are:
Building Cost ( provided by furniture program ),
Taxes ( provided by you ),
Insurance ( provided by you ).
Under the Process category the three provided by you are:
Utilities,
Housekeeping,
Miscellaneous ( you can enter a consolidation of
transportation, administration, etc. here ).
There is a fourth item added to the Process category and that
is the cost of furniture and equipment.
If through the use of data from this routine, managers
start insisting on clean work areas, energy efficiency, safe
practices, etc, this routine has been successful in helping
you achieve a more efficient operation.
