A Direct Cost System is a method of accounting that assigns costs directly associated with the production of goods or services. These costs typically include raw materials, labor, and manufacturing expenses, which are directly traceable to specific products or services. In procurement and supply chain management, the direct cost system helps organizations track and allocate expenses more accurately, allowing for better cost control and pricing strategies. By isolating direct costs, businesses can make more informed decisions regarding sourcing, production efficiency, and overall financial performance, leading to more effective procurement practices and enhanced cost management.
