Reduced spoilage and scrap lowers non-value-added costs. Defining & actg for spoilage, rework, & scrap. Costs must be classified differently: some permitted to be included in cogm then cogs (ex. normal spoilage, others classified as loss and expensed in period of occurrence (ex. abnormal spoilage) Different transactions give rise to each type of cost.
