The management processes
The management process has four steps:
1. Planning = management uses planning to develop the company’s
objectives (goals) and translating these objectives into courses of action.
Planning may be classified as follows:
- Strategic planning = long-term action to achieve business goals. 5 to
10 years.
- Operational planning = short-term planning. Also, tactical planning.
2. Directing = the process by which managers, given their assigned level of
responsibilities, run day-to-day operations.
3. Controlling = in concerned with monitoring employees’ activities,
keeping the organization on track towards meeting its goals, and making
corrections as necessary.
4. Improving/continuous process improvement = is the philosophy of
continually improving employees, business processes, and products.
Decision-making = a crucial part of planning, directing, controlling, and
improving management.

Cost classification
Manufacturing costs
1. Direct material costs = cost of direct materials that are used in the
finished product.  traceable
2. Direct labor costs = wages of factory workers who are directly involved
in turning materials into a finished product.
3. Factory overhead costs = all the costs of producing a product except
for direct materials and direct labor.
