COSTING
STOP compromising between performance and cost! Sage PFW equips you with the analytical capabilities you need to more effectively manage your product costs—so you can get every last penny out of your products without sacrificing quality. Capitalize on interactive analysis of the costs associated with the products you manufacture. You can adjust labor, overhead, materials, and material quantities on the fly and see how those changes affect the total product cost. Or quickly resize the formula to obtain insight into how the batch size influences per-unit costs. Your cost analyses will closely reflect your actual costs when you consider the costs of materials, fixed and variable labor and overhead, loss factors, container and bill-of-materials items, and markup or margin. The ability to promptly analyze costs theoretically, or based on historical information, is also within reach. You can even reformulate your mixtures automatically to meet a desired target material cost, pinpoint areas where actual costs are not consistent with expected costs, and project total product costs—all before manufacturing mixes a single material. Get the tools you need to transform your data into strategic, decision-making insights that will help you determine precise product costs, reduce waste and ultimately boost your bottom line.
