Abstract
Supplier and customer-ocused cost information enables firms to identify opportunities for improving the cost efficiency of their transactions with supply chain partners. It is the first step towards interorganizational cost management, which is a structured approach to coordinating the activities of firms in a supply chain so that overall costs are reduced. Coordinating the cost-reduction programs of firms across the supply chain can help them identify ways to make their interfaces more efficient. In addition, it can help the firms and their buyers and suppliers find new ways to jointly reduce the manufacturing costs of their products, both during product design and manufacturing.
