    Hi, and very good morning, it could be glad if you can explain this statement because i could not understand clearly about this statement which is

    “JIT and TQM environments limit the value of variances analysis, because price variations are only one component of total cost”

    I don’t clearly understand the terms of “one component of total cost”

    Thank you so much sir.

    🙂

    It means that changes in the total cost depend not just on how much the materials are costing us to buy but things like how much wastage of material there is.
