Abstract

Introduction. Cost accounting plays a crucial role in the production of steel structures, provides valuable information on the financial health of a company and helps to make informed decisions on cost optimization. In the steel structure production process, cost accounting is especially important due to the complexity of the manufacturing operations. Cost accounting plays an important role in decision making within the steel structure production industry. Process costing enables strategic decisions to be made and ensures the overall profitability and sustainability of the steel structure production process. Objective. To explain the importance of cost accounting in the production of steel structures. Methodology.  The research methodology proposed for the study is composed of the following steps: a. Statement of the problem. b. Literature review. c. Research design. d. Data collection and analysis. e. Results and conclusions. f. Bibliography. Results and conclusions. f. Bibliography. g. Writing the article. Each of them well defined.  Results. The following results are obtained in different components. 1. Cost components in the production of steel structures. 2. Cost allocation methods in the production of steel structures. 3. Cost estimation techniques to produce steel structures. 4. Cost control measures in the production of steel structures. 5. Production processes of steel structure production. Quality control in the production of steel structures. 7. Challenges of cost accounting in the production of steel structures. 8. Case studies and best practices of cost accounting in steel structure production. Conclusion. Cost accounting plays a crucial role in the production of steel structures, the costs to be considered are: material costs, labor costs and overhead, companies can make informed decisions and effectively control costs. Various cost allocation methods, such as direct and indirect cost allocation and activity-based costing, help to allocate costs accurately to different production processes. Finally, cost accounting is a vital tool for optimizing production processes and ensuring the profitability and sustainability of steel structure production.
