Process accounting - did anyone ever use it?

[bobh at tds.net]

Not sure of the reference in the last paragraph, but I know a company that processes seafood; clams, lobster, scallops, etc. They track every process so they know exactly what it cost to produce each product that they sell. The General Ledger had over 1,000 accounts.

(Credit the Quotas thread for prompting this.)

Did anyone ever use process accounting?  Did they actually bill 
departments (funny money)?

I was always intrigued by process accounting, but never had a use for it 
myself.

I guess I can thank process accounting for causing the discrepancy that 
Cliff Stole tracked down that became The Cuckoo's Egg.  :-)
