Choose the right perspective
Match the person's plant setup to yours, since costing a single plant differs from costing many plants on one ERP system. Also consider the production type, since process industries, discrete assembly and contract manufacturing raise different costing questions.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set and update standard costs, and how often do you revise them?
- 02How do you investigate large manufacturing variances and decide which ones need action?
- 03What controls do you rely on to keep inventory values right through month-end close?
