GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEED
Easy-to-use what-if scenario capabilities allow you to change assumptions and immediately see the impact on your revenue, expenses, and cash flow. For example:
- If suppliers raise the cost of key material, how much do we need to adjust our unit price to maintain the right level of margins?
- Can we meet our production schedule if demand for our low cost product doubles?
- Do we have the cash flow to launch a product, open a plant, or acquire equipment?
WITH PLANNING MAESTRO YOU CAN
- Create detailed plans with various revenue streams based on key drivers (average selling price, volume, etc.)
- Adjust and forecast revenue solely by changing drivers
- Apply allocation basis (labor hours, machine hours, production units) to ensure accurate cost of sales/goods sold
- Generate driver-based reports to analyze key business measures and metrics, such as dollars, units, gallons, volume, trucks, etc.
- Compare and analyze results to prior year outcomes
- Analyze information from multiple viewpoints, including divisions, product classes, account line-items, or customers
- Manage inventory levels such as raw materials, work in process, and finished goods
- Plan labor needs, incorporating overtime, premium and shift differentials for accurate costing
- Forecast headcount based on Production Hours derived from Revenue
- Centralize data from plants, divisions, and cost centers with automatic consolidation
- Use responsibility reporting to bring accountability to plant and division managers
