Most job costing systems or shop floor data collection systems are very big expenditure and cannot be cost justified by companies looking for a basic system. A complete system will track costs for three main categories: raw materials, factory labor and overhead. Many companies just need to track factory labor.
Advantek Solutions can provide the most important category for most companies, labor tracking, as part of our Time and Attendance solution. In addition to standard Labor Distribution categories such as Department, Cost Center, and Job you can set up additional user defined Labor Distribution categories (i.e. Operation, Work Order, or Machine). Define a weekly or monthly budget for hour or dollars with a maximum threshold. Analysis Reports can be run for Hours or Dollars for various Jobs, Departments, Assembly Lines, etc.
