Suppose that Doreen suggested gainsharing in response to Troy's suggestion to reward product development employees for improving cycle time and time to market. What is gainsharing? How could it be used in the product development setting? Determine the cost of all activities for the proposed new process. Now, assign the cost of the secondary activity to the primary activities Classify the primary activities into three categories: environmental , quality, and other (neither quality nor environmental ). Did some activities end up in more than one category ? Explain. Calculate the cost per unit for each of the proposed products using primary activity rates. Now, calculate the environmental cost per unit and the quality cost per unit. What does this tell you about the relative desirability of the two products ? Machine hours (pollution control).
