Abstract:

Contemporary developments in various sciences and the impact of technological changes require an integrated vision of the activities and work of the organization in Iraq in light of the high costs of products and their low quality compared to imported products of high quality and low cost, and the need to use modern cost techniques based on a clear and specific philosophy that contributes to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of management In the business environment and how it can contribute to reducing product costs and being environmentally friendly at the same time, it is no secret that the main goal of most organizations is to maximize profitability and reduce costs to the minimum, but this matter is not achieved automatically, but rather requires a study of all the activities of the organization for several years, horizontal and vertical comparisons, and the adoption of all advanced and modern methods and methods that will achieve this. Accordingly, this research came to shed light on the use of one of the modern techniques in the field of cost management, which is represented by the sustainable value chain and its theoretical dimensions, which is based on the study of total costs and thus the division of those costs on the main and subsidiary activities of the organization and accordingly, the research has been divided into sections according to the possibility of covering the dimensions The theory of the sustainable value chain and its role in excluding activities that do not add value to the product and shows the importance of the study of the role of sustainable value chain technology that took into account the environmental aspects. It also contributes to making products that harm the environment environmentally friendly and contributes to reducing costs at the same time. Therefore, the research aims to demonstrate the knowledge bases of sustainable value chain technology and demonstrate how the cost of the product can be reduced and environmentally friendly.
