Statement: a correct cost price per hour for man and machine leads to insight into the order and operating result. Experience shows that in practice the order and operating result almost never match. You can prevent this. MKG contains the BCO module for this purpose: budgeting, control, optimizing. In this webinar you will be introduced to BCO. In half an hour you will be taken through the steps you need to take in MKG to create a realistic budget and an executable operating plan.

Once BCO has been set up, you can start monitoring the budgets. The various BCO Dashboards serve this purpose. Budget control based on these dashboards is central to this article. In addition, a number of scenarios arising from the design of BCO are discussed.

The standard dashboard 'BCO Coverage and Occupancy Monitoring' can be used to monitor the extent to which the set budgets correspond with the realized direct hours, the man-machine ratio, and the coverage. This also allows monitoring of the extent to which costs are covered by the realized direct hours. These are visible both graphically and in grids.
