    In the December 2020 APM Exam, there was a scenario where a business

    1) Produced 2 types of shoes
    2) Production process was relatively simple
    3) There were many activities that were not value-adding
    4) Competition was growing
    5) Firm had very poor IT -which was not unified

    The question was would this organization benefit from ABM

    Would a good answer look at both sides? Talk about how they can eliminate waste by ABM and then talk about ABM not needed as the process is simple?

    Yes, I think both sides. Their poor IT implies some bother and cost implementing ABC and ABM.

    Lots of non-value added activities could be brought under control.

    The simple production process might limit the effectiveness of ABM…..is it really needed if production is simple?
