There is a substantial body of knowledge supporting the use of alternative costing systems for operations and production management and particularly mass/lean production, yet none deal with the emerging philosophy of agility. This paper examines the operational cost environment of organisations seeking to attain agility. The paper considers and defines the inter-and intra-enterprise activities required to support the provision of total solution systems for customers. The paper evaluates the requirements at a strategic and operational level for costing in an agile environment. The operational issues for agile costing systems are explored and discussed through an implementation case study.The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at
