TDABC provides several benefits for cost and profitability management including an accurate yet inexpensive cost model, integration with transactional data, identification of process efficiencies, and forecasting of resource demands. Departments that tend to benefit most from TDABC are those with standardized repeatable processes, diversity of products/customers, large overhead costs, and available transaction data. These include sales, distribution, engineering, quality, and finance. Industries that are generally not a good fit include batch manufacturers and process industries.
