Abstract:
The problem of the study is the role of the targeted cost system in reducing the
industrial costs of the sugar companies. The paper applied the targeted cost system to
sugar industry with the aim of reducing manufacturing costs. The cost of production as
determined by the traditional cost calculation systems is not suitable for the
determination of industrial costs in the modern business environment. In Kenana sugar
company, the study found that the use of traditional costing theories, does not properly
determine industry costs. Implementing the target cost system reduces industrial costs
and increases profits of sugar production companies. The paper calls on the sugar
companies to adopt the cost-targeting system because it reduces industrial costs and
increases companies' profits.
