Cost management addresses practical requirements. The influences on costs are increasingly short-lived. This relates to quantities that have to be produced, to changes in costs such as energy or personnel. But of course also to technical changes in machinery and equipment. Cost management should therefore be future-oriented and not just reflect the past. However, the future often means questioning overhead costs, questioning hourly rates and developing measures to influence costs. The future in cost accounting means evaluating the measures and highlighting them as potential in cost accounting and setting new targets. SAP Business One provides cost accounting for this purpose or, in manufacturing companies, Business Performance as part of Beas Manufacturing (boyum). Business Performance is a very practice-oriented system.

Customers deserve your special attention. It should react quickly when changes occur. To do this, you need to consider what view you should have of customers. This is not only about sales but about all data that are valuable for the view on customers. Which article groups are bought, which activities are undertaken by the sales department. Which offers are currently being processed, which orders have not yet been delivered, etc.

If one wants to satisfy customers, one must ask oneself which adjusting screws can be used. This can be compliance with the required delivery quantities and/or delivery times. Or faster response to inquiries or better response to service requests. In SAP Business One you can find a lot of data that you can show to identify gaps and finally improve them. We call these types of figures performance indicators. These figures help to improve the relationship to customers, help to improve products and help to improve the organization in the production department.

For critical processes, we show the standard deviation for the key figures, e.g. for productivity. The standard deviation indicates how the values fluctuate around the mean value. Strong fluctuation indicate unstable processes for which there are many causes. But you can find out this when you look at the orders. 

If you find causes again and again you can improve the organization. Step by step. And the fluctuations become smaller and smaller, the organization of the production will be developed to a new level.

This methodical approach helps to define targets.

We support employees with exactly the data they need to perform their tasks. Better results with SAP Business One.
