Choose the right perspective
Match the person's setting to your question: someone who ran a single high-volume plant suits questions about day-to-day cost accounting and the close, while someone with a global or multi-site plant controller title suits questions about standardizing costing across locations. Also consider how close the person's industry and production model are to yours, since costing and inventory practice differ between process and discrete manufacturing.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set and maintain standard costs at a plant, and how do you explain variances to operations leaders?
- 02What controls do you put around physical inventory and cycle counts to keep the books accurate?
- 03How do you run a fast and reliable monthly close at a manufacturing site?
