Esprit Project
6922 - Computer Integrated Product Costing System (CIP-COST)
|
|
Objectives |
- The objective of CIP-COST
is to develop an integrated set of product costing software that
integrates with and uses data from material management and production
planning systems. The software will be aimed at manufacturing
companies who produce a substantial number of customised products
mixed in with standard products.
-
- Functions addressed by the
system will include:
- overhead analysis and allocation
and cost driver identification
- identification of limiting
factors of production and their cost implications
- identification of unused resources
- profit potential analysis
- analysis of historical data
- To support the costing system,
information on factory and cell capacity can be input manually
or from existing factory planning and cell scheduling systems.
-
- A pilot demonstration and
evaluation are foreseen at a factory in the Stork group, where
it is expected that the results will be used in parallel with
current product costing networks. Results of the project will
be incorporated in products marketed by the consortium members.
