The importance of Product cost determination  in order to define the best sale price and the cost effectiveness calculation

Having a complete and well-structured vision of all the aspects that characterize the manufacturing estimate of a certain Bill of Materials, it will allow you to quickly and intuitively identify what are the factors that have the gratest impact on costs and understand the possible decision-making activities to make the necessary corrections.

Perhaps not everyone knows that... Mago.net facilitates us in this activity with the BOM Costing Procedure!

In the Update Cost tab window it's now available a new functionality that allows you to specify all costs related to processing activities and the individual materials as well as to correct the values.    

This last point has ensured greater flexibility at the level of estimate product costing ensuring you get the desired cost in the light of any changes and update directly the BOM's standard value in the item master data.

”Time is the most valuable coin in our life"

Theophrastus (greek philosopher)

Today more than ever, companies are measured by the ability of shortening the delivery times and to be on time, thus providing fast response to customer demands is an essential competitive tool.

And then, next to competitiveness factors of quality and cost, it adds a third, the time. 

The Lead Time is already long been a popular term, and it is a useful parameter to measure the production efficency, and it is therefore normal that many companies are moving to reduce lead time and increase the level of customer service, but to improve we need to measure...

...Perhaps not everyone knows that...… 

Mago.net allows you to calculate and automatically update the Production Lead Time displayed in the Item Master Data.

The Calculate Production Lead Time Procedure obtains the average time of production on the basis of actual times and selected and confirmed Manufacturing Orders.

Which better way to ensure thet the goods (or services) are in the right place at the right time, in the right assortment, in the right quantity, in the right condition for presentation, at minimum cost? 

For each item the procedure reads all confirmed manufacturing orders, it sums the times and it calculates, based on the total produced quantities, the time required on average to produce a unit of finished product. Once the procedure has ended, you can save the results updating the Lead Time in Item Master Data.

We would also remember that the Lead Time is extremely important fo the Manufacturing Planning, in particular MRP algorithm.

It 'came first the lot or ....the  chicken? ... No matter, Mago.net lets you choose!

Is your production department able to determine the lot of your finished product starting from the first phase of manufacturing process?

You have no idea of the lot of your finished product because you are still picking the needed components?

Do you want to ensure the full traceability of materials and production lots, but you are able to do it only after have produced your item?

You know that Mago.net already meets all these requirements and you can decide the exact moment in which to create the lot of the finished product in your production process without any constraints and always in full compliance with the requirements of traceability and uniqueness of coding.

But perhaps not everyone knows that...

Today the timing in lot creation can be set depending on the given item and not only by an overall level point of view.

This allows you to go down to the maximum detail of assigning process, ensuring, enabling and managing the coexistence of different production processes.

Does Mago.net already answer to your needs? Now you know that it answers all together!

The "lot": just a National Italian lottery for many people ...
... an essential information for us.

In almost every manufacturing company, the traceability of components represents one of the crucial feature of the entire manufacturing process.
The increasingly demanding standards of quality and management control are ensured not only thanks to knowledge of the origin of materials used in the various manufacturing process, but also thank to the spreading of this information in the semi-finished  product  re-used  in them and in the finished product sold.

That is why the lot number and its traceability, that Mago.net manages in an integrated and complete manner across production, logistics and accounting modules, can be considered both as origin and destination point of the entire manufacturing process.

but... perhaps not everyone knows that...

It is now also possible to define a desired number of shifts within the same working day and, during the execution of confirmation procedure directly in relation to them and to a single manufacturing order, to generate different lots of semi-finished or finished products.

Learn and discover how these lots are automatically organized into hierarchies, and how to trace their history from a single "father" linked to the manufacturing  order itself. This new functionality is available starting from the 3.1 release of Mago.net Professional edition.

Please keep in mind that you can update your Mago.net only if you have subscribed the M.L.U service and that regarding this topic you can ask for details to your reseller referral, or visit our on-line Microarea Help & Information Center and its FAQ, Samples & Tutorials section

The cowl does not make the monk… almost always.
When packaging becomes part of the manufacturing process...

Not only in the food companies, but now in many other commercial area an attractive packaging often have the effect to increase sales of a given item.

Here then explained the growing importance in the manufacturing process of that element now considered as a main component of the finished product itself and then to be managed starting by the definition of the structure of the Bill Of Material.

In-house or outsourced produced, expensive or economical, complex and rich in detail or clean and simple, modular or fixed ...
…All kinds of packaging are manageable with Mago.net and its great number of features associated to the bill of material module...

....every day more!
and perhaps not everyone knows that....

Mago.net can also manage quantity rounded to integer in reference to a desired components step by step during the manufacturing process, starting by the picking phases since to the manufacturing order confirmation,  while ensuring the proportion with the number of items to be produced.

The  “Quantity rounding”  feature allows, for example, the picking and use (consumption) of a single container with a fixed capacity of 100 pieces not depending by the number of items step by step produced and since to its filling.
