When you need it
The service is relevant if the company faces:
- production planning, warehouse, procurement and sales live in separate spreadsheets
- product cost is calculated once a quarter and is always disputed
- stock balances do not match the accounting records
- purchase requests are approved by email and get lost
- it is unclear which product or order brings the profit
- an investor or a bank needs transparent reporting
What you get
On completion the client receives:
- a single loop from a customer request to shipment and product cost
- records of stock balances and material movements
- control over procurement, delivery dates and request fulfilment
- planned and actual product cost with variance analysis
- reporting for owners and investors
- trained users and working rules
How it works
The work is carried out in stages.
- We look at how production works. We go through the product range, process stages, consumption standards and the planning routine.
- We prepare the master data. We set up products, materials, work centres and specifications.
- We start the warehouse and procurement. We put receipts, issues, stocktaking and the request approval route in place.
- We connect planning. We link the production plan to materials, workshop load and shipment dates.
- We calculate product cost. We collect costs by order and product, compare plan with actual and analyse the variances.
- We hand over to support. We fix the scope of work and the development plan for the system.
The outcome
The company sees the whole chain: a customer order, material demand, procurement, production, shipment and product cost are all calculated in one system rather than in scattered spreadsheets.
