ABC is a cost approach method by calculating the cost of activities to produce products, both goods and services where these activities require resources. After conducting a literature study, the authors found similarities and inequalities among several literatures and then draw conclusions. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the ABC system is used by companies to get more accurate production costs, accurate production costs can increase company profits and the criteria for companies that are suitable for using the ABC system are companies with a high level of product diversity, there is intense competition with companies that produce similar products, as well as the cost of implementing the ABC system is low.
