Tõhususarvestuses

Tõhususarvestus is an Estonian term that translates to "efficiency accounting" or "performance accounting" in English. It refers to a management accounting and control system focused on measuring, analyzing, and improving the efficiency of an organization's operations. The core principle is to assess how well resources are utilized to achieve desired outputs, thereby minimizing waste and maximizing productivity.

This accounting methodology often involves comparing actual performance against predetermined standards, budgets, or benchmarks. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are crucial in tõhususarvestus, quantifying aspects like production output per labor hour, cost per unit, resource utilization rates, and cycle times. The analysis goes beyond simply tracking financial figures to understand the underlying operational drivers of performance.

Tõhususarvestus aims to identify areas of inefficiency, such as bottlenecks in production processes, suboptimal resource allocation, or excessive waste of materials and time. The insights gained are then used to inform decision-making, leading to process improvements, cost reductions, and enhanced overall organizational effectiveness. It is a proactive approach to management that emphasizes continuous improvement and the efficient use of all available resources to achieve strategic objectives.
