Why this exists
Margin leakage rarely announces itself. It hides in overhead allocated as though it scales with units, in standard costs set years ago and never revisited, and in machine rates that assume a level of performance nobody has hit since commissioning. Pricing built on those numbers erodes quietly and continuously, and the monthly report shows it far too late to act.
The work
What we do
- Split standard-versus-actual variance into its rate and efficiency components
- Derive machine rates from attainable averages rather than nameplate figures
- Allocate overhead by activity rather than by volume
- Surface the gap between the cost you quote on and the cost you incur
Deliverables
What you get
- Per-part costs you can defend line by line
- Variance attributed to a machine and a cause, not just a total
- A costing model your finance team owns and can adjust
Edges
Where it stops
What we don't touch
Your pricing decisions. We show you what things cost; what you charge stays yours.
Done when
you can see what each part costs to make, and why.
Next step
Start with discovery.
Whether this is the right piece of work is exactly what discovery answers.
