Production Manager

Grow profitably and discover areas for major savings

Production Manager

Give your team visibility of their daily performance with job costing and profitability reported by job (contract), product, and customer, no matter where they are. Customers using Production Manager have reported that they’ve increased their profits by 5% or more while decreasing staff time spent on disconnected paperwork. Direct service providers and production supervisors can stop duplicating manual entries of the same data—and making mistakes in attempting duplicate entries—in multiple disconnected systems.

This solution is designed to assist rehab agencies that deliver prime and subcontract assembly and manufacturing services. Your agency has the same need to run production profitably as the private sector, so invest in the same tools to maximize revenue from your prime and subcontract operations.

A Day With Production Manager

Imagine your rehabilitation agency’s board wanting to know whether orders from a customer ran profitably during a month. If your team has a manual system, they would have to dig out the time study information as well as the BOM information and work out the standard and then look at inventory and labor records to obtain the actual to finally compute profitability. If your team faced multiple jobs, repeating these actions would be highly time-consuming.

By using Production Manager, you can run a single report so your team could get this information quickly. Our solution can go even further, giving your team profitability on jobs in process. Because of this, decisions need not be based on a post-mortem. Even better, when your customer calls for an inventory count of their consigned and finished-good items and the status of their production run, you can answer while on the phone!

Manual Disconnected System Vs. Production Manager’s Automated System

If your rehabilitation agency team is stuck dealing with estimates instead of actual costs, missing forms and other hassles, it’s time to upgrade to Production Manager.

Manual Disconnected System

Separate spreadsheets don’t add up.

Labor cost is “estimated.”

Overhead inaccurately applied.

Printed forms are misplaced or lost.

Bid-to-actual analysis is impossible.

Profitability is a “guesstimate.”

Management reports require extra effort and time to prepare.

One simple transaction can take days!

Production Manager’s Automated System

Real-time automatic financial entries on production.

Job-based bid to actual analysis.

Profitability reports by job, finished good or customer.

Detailed visibility on jobs, steps, time studies, prevailing wages and many more.

Inventory planning capabilities.

Approval workflow notifications.

Rapid turnaround from quote to invoice with very little data entry.

Seamlessly capture time worked on jobs, with data entered only once.

Slice and dice information by department, project, cost center, etc.
