Production and job costing for a manufacturer
A production and cost system for a metal-fabrication manufacturer, covering purchasing, stock, piece-rate wages and standard versus actual cost.

Production ran on paper work tickets and Excel. Piece-rate wages were calculated by hand, stock was reconciled once a month, and product costs were estimates.
What we built
- Supplier approval, purchasing, and stock in and out with a single movement ledger.
- Product routings and bills of materials, with approved piece rates per process.
- Daily work reports by worker that drive both wages and output.
- Standard versus actual cost for every product, with the variance broken down by cause.
- Production plans, customer orders and Excel import and export on every list.
The client’s staff work in Chinese, so the interface shown is in Chinese.
