Activity
Any event, action, transaction, or work sequence that incurs costs when producing a product or performing a service.

Extends ABC from product costing to a comprehensive management tool that focuses on reducing costs and improving processes and decision-making.
Activity cost pool
The overhead cost attributed to a distinct type of activity or related activities.
Batch-level activities
Activities performed for each batch of products rather than for each unit.
Cost driver
Any factor or activity that has a direct cause-effect relationship with the resources consumed. In ABC, cost drivers are used to assign activity cost pools to products or services.
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
Activities performed for each unit of production.
Value-added activity
An activity that increases the perceived value of a product or service to a customer.
