Activity cost pool
The overhead cost attributed to a distinct type of activity or related activities.
Batch-level activities

Facility-level activities
Activities required to support or sustain an entire production process.
Just-in-time (JIT) processing
A processing system dedicated to having the right amount of materials, parts, or products arrive as they are needed, thereby reducing the amount of inventory.
Non-value added activity
An activity that, if eliminated, would not reduce the perceived value of a company's product or service.
Product-level activities
Activities performed in support of an entire product line but not always performed every time a new unit or batch of products is produced.
Unit-level activities
