COGM stands for Cost of goods manufactured, an accounting abbreviation.

Total production cost of goods completed during a period in a manufacturing company, including direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, adjusted for changes in work-in-process inventory. COGM feeds into cost of goods sold.

Example: COGM for the quarter was $14.2 million, and finished-goods inventory rose by $1.1 million.

Usage notes

The usual formula is total manufacturing cost plus beginning work in process minus ending work in process. Cost of goods sold then equals COGM plus beginning finished goods minus ending finished goods. COGM schedules are standard in cost accounting courses and internal management reports.
