Excerpt from The Cost of Production: The Principles of the Science of Costs
The development of manufacturing and the interests closely related to it has seen a corresponding growth in the science of costs. Nowhere has the application of scientific methods to the productive end of a business yielded larger returns than here. The productive sciences are so closely and intimately related to cost reduction that increased production calls for and demands with increase in volume of a product a corresponding decrease in its cost.
The reasons for this demand are manifold. They are at the same time empirical and scientific. Empiricism arbitrarily demands reduced cost. Scientific methods show how cost reduction can be effected.
Contrary to general opinion, there is considerable literature extant on the science of costs.
