The Hidden Cost of Disconnected Manufacturing Systems

The Problem: Most Australian manufacturers operate with disconnected systems between production floor, accounting, and inventory management - creating weeks of delay before accurate job costs are known.

The Typical Timeline:

1
Week 1: Production runs across multiple lines and work centres
2
Week 2: Timesheets and material consumption logged in separate systems
3
Week 3: Data manually reconciled across production, inventory, and accounting systems
4
Week 4: Actual job costs finally calculated and variances discovered

The Impact: When job cost variances are discovered 3 weeks after production, course-correction becomes expensive.

A 15% variance on a $2M production run = $300,000

that could have been addressed with real-time production visibility
