Target costing is used during the development and design stage of new products, and focuses on profit realization by planning quality products in the design and review stage. Kaizen costing focuses on cost reduction activities for existing products throughout their life cycles. Used together, they form a complete cost reduction system that can be applied from the product's conception to the end of its life cycle. Annotation c.
