“…The selling price of loss-making or low-profit items can be improved by lowering production or improving their quality by adding economical processes. The study of Cremonese et al (2016) indicates that an activity-based costing (ABC) approach is efficient for analyzing the selling costs of mining product mix. Steinberg and De Tomi (2010) observed in the most developed nations, the grades of mineral/ore have fallen due to protracted mining operations.…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the impact of commercial issues (CIs), financial issues (FIs) and corporate affairs (CAs) on operational excellence (OE) of the mining industry. Design/methodology/approach A purposive sample of size 321 was collected from Indian mining executives with more than ten years of exposure to the mining field. Factors are identified and confirmed with the use of confirmatory factor analysis. The structural equation modeling technique was then applied to understand the unique as well as the complex relationships between FI, CI, CA and OE. Findings The results indicate that all three issues, CI, FI and CA, have an influence on OE in the Indian mining industry. Among the variables of the issues considered in this study, marketing products and size and quality of products (from CI); scale of economies (from FI); risk management (from CA); and transportation and machine operation (from OE) are the highest influencing variables. Research limitations/implications This study has its limitations in sampling, the timing of sample collection and their mode. The samples were collected from only massively deposited large mines. Practical implications Business managers of the mining industry will be more vigilant and aware of those indirect variables such as marketing products, size and quality of products, scale of economies and risk management, which can influence OE apart from major influencing variables such as transportation and machine operations and production scheduling. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study in the mining industry to evaluate the impact of these three issues on OE. The originality of this research lies in testing the CI, FI and CA of the mining industry with OE, which is completely new to this field.

“…According to [14], realistic distribution of the actual costs of each product to a mining company is one of the main challenges. The assessment of each product's profitability may be impaired when incorrect information is provided and affect strategic decisions.…”

This paper aims to evaluate the diesel oil consumption between 2008 and 2015 in the production of iron ore in Brazil, creating correlations between energy intensity (production), economy and checking the impact of fuel prices on the commodity. During the analyzed period, the years 2008-2009 indicated economic crises, which interfered in the price and the commercialization of iron ore products. The physical intensity was 0.2% higher than the economic intensity. In the period from 2010 to 2014, economic activity remained more stable, with a decreasing trend, mainly due to the increase of iron ore prices. The physical intensity is much higher than the economic intensity influenced by the expansion of the Chinese economy. The year of 2014 indicated the end of the high iron ore price cycle and the beginning of supply and demand stabilization with consequent reduction in prices. In 2015, the market entered the stabilization phase, with a continuous reduction in unit production costs and transportation logistics. There was an abrupt change due to the strong increase of the economic intensity due to the fall of the international prices of iron ore. The diesel oil consumption plays a vital role in the scenario of cost reduction in iron ore production and a deeper analysis must be done in order to discover some options to change the energy matrix.

“…Thus, it helps in the process of price formation of the product, so that it is compatible with the market in which the product is inserted (Silvestre 2002). The correct use of the costing system is important, since the incorrect division of costs can cause uncertainties in the determination of profit for each product and thus jeopardize decision-making process (Cremonese et al 2016).…”

Use of the activity-based costing methodology (ABC) in the cost analysis of successional agroforestry systems

Facing increasingly competitive market demands, producers must act as managers of their property, knowing the strengths and bottlenecks in production systems. In this perspective, there is a methodology activity-based costing system (ABC), a cost management tool, used when there is a mix of products, to determine the unit costs of production. This work aimed to apply the activity-based costing system to activities in a successional agroforestry system, that produces nine products. The methodology was applied to the indirect costs of the system. When applying the methodology, it was found that maize and okra products presented negative contribution margins, showing that the respective production costs exceed the sale value of the product. The other products had positive contribution margins, with emphasis on yam and strawberry. The ABC system is efficient for management and administration of agroforestry enterprises.
