The engineered overhead cost approach assumes that each order can have labour time assigned to it on a cause-and-effect basis. The €3,000 production-volume variance alerts management to the possibility of overstaffing and unused capacity. The discretionary overhead cost approach assumes Stientje cannot identify a cause-and- effect relation between the number of orders processed and labour costs. The control of labour costs is based on the manager’s judgement and experience about likely workloads.
