Production planning provides benefits such as reduced costs, increased operational efficiency, maximized customer satisfaction through timely delivery, better resource allocation, improved quality, reduced waste, and enhanced risk management by balancing production with demand. It acts as a roadmap, ensuring resources, timelines, and tasks are coordinated to meet customer needs, leading to a smoother, more profitable, and competitive operation.
Product costing benefits include accurate pricing, enabling competitive strategies and profitability; better cost control by identifying inefficiencies and reducing waste; informed decision-making for resource allocation, planning, and product profitability; increased efficiency through optimized resource use and streamlined processes; and a stronger competitive advantage by allowing for lower pricing or higher profit margins.
CARAT ProPlan includes both the above modules.
Whether you manufacture products, offer services or create projects, each of them include raw materials and direct and indirect costs. CARAT ProPlan allows you specify the cost components that make up the finished product, calculate the total cost and let you specify the sales price that gives the profit margin you want to make on each item.
When you are ready to produce the item, CARAT ProPlan generates a raw material order list that you can use to get from stores or need to purchase.
All of the above is packaged in a simple-to-use software that is reasonably priced. You can now bring the benefits of material resource planning into your company.
