What is "Operating Costing"?

Operation costing is a mix of job costing and process costing, and is used in either of the following situations:

• A product initially uses different raw materials, and is then finished using a common process that is the same for a group of products; or
• A product initially has identical processing for a group of products, and is then finished using more product-specific procedures.

• n both cases, you use a mix of job costing and process costing to compile the cost of a product; this mixed costing environment is called operation costing. The job costing element is based on the concept that you can assign costs to specific products, which is the case when something is produced in units of one or in very small quantities. The process costing element is based on the concept that you allocate the cost of producing a large group of products equally to all the products in that group, since they are manufactured in an identical manner.

  In short, operation costing is most applicable to the more complex manufacturing environments that require a mix of different types of production processes in order to create goods.

Agreed with the answer, Mr. Asim

Operating costs include both fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs, such as overhead, remain the same regardless of the number of products produced; variable costs, such as materials, can vary according to how much product is produced.
