There has been a long-simmering cispute between the company's estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work, such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in oider homes, and nonroutine work, such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buldings. The onsite supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: "My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by 10p management, I simply multiply the square footage by $2.50 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.455 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart:" To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs.
