Maximize the benefits of ERP systems pursue cost control tips



Product cost and revenue related to the manufacturing enterprises to survive, reducing the cost of manufacturing managers is always objective, which is the main purpose of enterprises to implement one ERP system.

To reduce production costs, the first is the ability to clearly calculate the actual production costs, accurate cost data in context, be based on the cost structure analysis, looking to improve the point. In the absence of ERP systems in enterprises, in order to manually calculate cost of production is facing difficulties, you must first create a right to collect the cost of the project, costing system in order to reflect the true cost structure, Furthermore, in the collection of computing cost of production process, the information involved in numerous areas, but the formula and the step is also very complicated, many labor and time-consuming and less accurate, especially the number of product groups for a long time, such work is beyond human competence.

For more variety, small batch production of mechanical mixing processing industry, human calculation of cost is simply not possible, the original? Due to the cost of different products is not strictly defined and Guiji. Such as "in the system, intangible assets," and so on, these "shared" values, how assessed? Assessed according to what criteria? Another example of material into each other to apply, how to distinguish? All of the answer may be: Who? Use, Who? Assessed. However, these are the assessed value of the transfer may be mature, in theory, practical in operation it is difficult to operate, difficult to grasp the scale, different accounting methods, different people have different accounting results.

The purpose of cost in providing a very accurate calculation of reasonable costs of production system, while the most simple to use program to automatically calculate the cost of every single piece of work, and to calculate each order by order the production cost. ERP system for manufacturing use, can better address the costs to the vexing problem. In the ERP system for cost accounting is based on BOM and material information Guiji standards for the actual number of results, how many, Consuming the amount requisitioned for that order, for that turnover orders, orders for that stock started from the start order for a project Guiji, who really did? use, Who? assessed.

ERP system, the calculation of the cost of logic?? Is very tight, as long as companies use ERP to achieve data "sharing", there is no information islands, production costs will increase as the process route and BOM structure be cumulative, stage the cost of the so-called semi-finished products will have accurate results, the final cost of the product profile will gradually clear up to arrive at a precise value. In this way, regardless of inventory, whether in the system, from the logic?? Both are an order. BOM fixed by accounting, the accounting system by sharing some equivalent, as long as the underlying data accurately, you can easily and quickly calculates the cost of a work order and completion of a cost order products.

On the cost of a standard cost calculation and the calculation on the weighted cost, the cost of the title for the planned cost (some called fixed costs) and the actual cost. There are two methods is the cost of cost control logic?? And development process, the context of manual accounting as data volume, it is very natural approach is to work order or product before a predetermined target cost, then calculated according to the amount of actual differences in the so-called, of the difference analysis, sharing, as sharing is right or not, only those who mind clear cost accounting, which means maintaining the status quo really is quite upset.

Planned cost and actual cost is also a relative concept, is transformed into each other. From the actual cost of the project in years, went to guide the actual cost of the project is the product on an actual cost of production. Program costs can be understood as the budget costs, the higher the frequency changes the closer the actual cost, in the true sense of the actual cost is difficult calculated. Members may be costing businesses the most experience, if you want product development, production, storage, sales and other costs are clear links to all Guiji end is not easy, and good the production is continuous, accounts adjustment to the operator the opportunity to restore many, in reality, the meat rot in the pot is probably the best comfort, only the difference between pot and pot Bale. ERP systems only provide you with Cost Absorption accounting platform, how it depends on the cost of management of "play", or that the sentence, ERP system is only a tool, the level of cost control is still deciding the management level, ERP systems exist, but for the calculation of accurate product cost possible.

ERP system can sort out possible sources of the cost, but then managers need to consider how the cost is often not accurate to several decimal point to the problem, but how to best reach of the enterprise management, reduce administrative costs, also is to pay attention to cost control and cost control problems. Cost control as well as costs, cost accounting system provides the scientific nature, but also with user management level, if the company's basic management level is not high, it is necessary to maximize the capabilities, and not self-defeating, cost control, cost control should be pursued minimize, not penny wise, pound-foolish, enough is enough, let alone the level of cost control is the enterprise management level, only a higher management level, not the highest. Some companies go to extremes, vowed to each batch of products, each of the actual cost of work orders are clear, is unrealistic, is thankless, and it is meaningless. In the production plan to determine the products formed when the planned cost, the actual production process is completed, the actual cost of the product formed, the difficulty of determining the actual cost of product problems, not only in the cost of the project can not exhaust the collection, but also performance the impact of price fluctuations in the material on. As an example, because the price of the original? Due to, resulting in two time points with the price of a material inconsistency, if you use this material products have? Storage or sale, in the future they will no longer produce, how you can not do to Product share price difference, and this is normal objective.

Cost of the three parts, labor costs, manufacturing costs, materials costs, are the three concepts, three types of costs are not independent, but also can be transformed into each other, the reason why there are so-called public cost, because not found classified in the project. Operation, as far as possible to the so-called cost-sharing, there is no way to boil down to the final product cost in the cost of materials classified as manufacturing costs, but also by the people? Regular practice.

Case: gasoline engine as motive power for different configurations, the requirements of the crankshaft is not the same, with keys and a need, a need with keys, this way, bound to the crankshaft machining process, should be strictly The identification and isolation storage, even assembled finished products must be different, not to the wrong goods to customers. This invisible in the increase of management costs. If reunification with keys are processed, it will reduce the identification, segregation, storage, release management costs, but increase the processing costs of parts, an increase of a process, an increase of machinery, tools, artificial loss. On this point in order to reduce product cost, is to personalize the crankshaft configuration process, or the reunification process keyway as a standard of processing, not only look at the management level of enterprise management tools, but also obtained in two ways to look at the costs and benefits of the .

The above case, you can really understand the situation of three types of costs into each other, while the cost is reflected in the understanding and control costs in the final analysis is the company chasing an important means of maximizing efficiency.
