How does Lean Production reduce or eliminate the difference in reported net operating income between absorption and variable costing?
The difference in reported net operating income under variable and absorption costing can be reduced or eliminated by lean production, inventory control system or just in time manufacturing system. These systems are used by organizations to reduce or eliminate all types of inventories. For example raw materials, semi finished/finished goods. When such inventories are reduced, the difference between net operating income is also reduced. Inventories are the major cause for such difference.When inventories remains same, the operating income does not change under variable and absorption costing.
