Sage PFW delivers analytical capabilities to efficiently manage product costsso businesses can maximize every penny without sacrificing quality. Interactive analysis tools reveal the associative costs related to manufacturing inputs. Adjust labor, overhead, materials, and quantities on the fly and calculate how changes affect total product cost. Or quickly adjust the formula to gauge how the batch size influences per-unit costs. Narrow the gap between estimated and actual costs by first factoring variable inputs like 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 historical-based information, is also within reach. Automatically reformulate mixtures to target a desired material cost, pinpoint inconsistencies between actual and estimated costs, and project your total product costall before manufacturing mixes a single material.
