What a factory should expect
- Recipes (BOM): the components and quantities of each finished product.
- Production orders: raw materials are issued from stock and the finished product is received at production.
- MRP: what you must buy to cover your production orders.
- Actual production cost: materials at weighted average cost, plus labour and overheads.
- Lots and expiry dates to trace batches.
- Multiple warehouses: raw materials, finished goods and branches, with transfers and stock counts.
- Cost centres and production lines to see which line or order makes money.
- Automatic accounting entries so the income statement matches the shop floor.
Estimated cost versus actual cost
Factories that cost products from spreadsheets find a loss late. When the production order draws real materials from stock and posts its entries to the accounts, the cost of every batch comes from actual data and the margin is visible while you can still act.
Questions for any vendor
- Does the production cost include labour and overheads, or only materials?
- Can I trace a batch and its expiry date?
- Does the system tell me what to buy for the planned production?
- Is it integrated with accounting and with the Jordanian e-invoicing system JoFotara?
