Le choix de l'unité d'œuvre est dicté par la nécessité de traduire le mieux possible les relations coût-volume, du moins pour les coûts variables. Il s'agit généralement d'une mesure d'intrant, et les unités d'œuvre les plus utilisées sont le temps d'utilisation des machines (heures-machines) et les heures de main-d'œuvre directe. Grâce à l'unité d'œuvre, les coûts d'un centre de travail (par exemple une section auxiliaire) peuvent être équitablement imputés à d'autres centres de travail (par exemple les sections principales) ou aux coûts des produits ou des services. 1, record 1, French, - unit%C3%A9%20d%27%26oelig%3Buvre
