Mike, the owner of an ice cream factory, has his raw ingredients coming to stock in tens of heavy bags and containers. Yet each of his product needs only some grams of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

He owns several good machines, yet it\u2019s hard to plan production times, costs and efficiency because each is with different capacity and operating cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now and then steps in a customer and asks for an ice cream, or even better, a hundred of each kind. Mike has an important question in his mind \u2013 what does his box of ice cream cost? \u2013 <\/strong>so he can be sure to charge the correct amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issues Mike is facing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. the number of filled packages from a production run always varies due to of air fluff created by stirring. Yet it\u2019s important for him to know the real unit price of his ice cream which fluctuates with the amount fluff.<\/li>
  2. done with pen and paper or on a spreadsheet, this calculation will become complicated fast. Over time some batches are being sold out while some not, in addition, prices of raw material and workforce fluctuate. Thus, keeping data accurate manually takes a lot of time.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This is what MRPeasy manufacturing software<\/a> solves for you in real-time: the heavy lifting of data integrity and calculations. Always on-time and accurate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. end products;<\/li>
      3. his machines;<\/li>

      5. correct reports of production.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Now it is no big deal if the price of raw ingredients changes or the most efficient machine is out of order \u2013 the real cost will always be there. MRPeasy helps you ensure the traceability of all ingredients and products<\/strong>, and at the same time uses this information to calculate the real cost of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
