The standard report 'WIP with Advice on Reference Date' shows the work in progress (WIP) based on the chosen reference date. It provides a breakdown of the work in progress position of material, labor, machinery, and outsourcing.

The standard report 'Operations of Pending Production Orders' displays the operations of pending production orders, grouped by week and year of the planned production date. For each operation, insight is provided into the expected lead times, such as setup time, processing time per piece, man-hours per machine, and total production time. The report groups data by operation and production order line, and includes totals per week and per year. This report supports the planning and capacity analysis of the production department.

The standard report 'WIP Standard' provides an overview of work in progress (WIP) per production order. It shows the progress of production, costs (labor, machinery, materials, outsourcing), realized and billable revenue, and the percentage ready for each sub-assembly. Totals are calculated per production group, distinguishing between completed and non-completed work. The report aids in assessing work in progress positions and the financial progress of production projects.

The standard report 'Revaluation List' provides an overview of the revaluation of inventory items within a selected period. It provides insight into the cost components such as material, man hours, machine costs, and outsourcing for each item and batch number, and calculates the total revaluation amount. The data is grouped by inventory group and includes subtotals and total amounts per component and total value. The report supports financial control and adjustment of inventory valuation.

The standard report 'BCO Machine Hours Monitoring' provides an overview of the worked and planned hours on machines and by employees (man-hours) within an operation. The report compares budgets, actuals, and deviations for both man and machine hours per hour type. Additionally, it calculates various performance indicators, such as the ratio between man and machine hours (MMR) and deviation factors. This helps in monitoring efficiency and identifying discrepancies in time allocation compared to the plan.

The standard report 'Stock List on Reference Date based on Batches' shows the stock quantities and inventory values per batch/item grouped by stock group. The inventory value is broken down into material, labor, machine, and outsourcing value.

The standard report 'Order List Financial' shows the financial status of sales order lines within a selected period. It provides insight into intake, invoiced amounts, installment invoicing, and work in progress (WIP) per order line, broken down by man-hours, material, machine costs, and outsourcing. The data is grouped per sales order or as stock order and includes both totals and ratios (such as % invoiced and % WIP).

The standard report 'Order Result per Period' shows the order result for the current fiscal year, including cost prices, revenue, and margin per invoice line. It provides insights into the added value and margin per order line, broken down by components such as man-hours, machine costs, materials, and outsourcing. The data is grouped by debtor and includes totals and percentages per cost type. The report supports the analysis of sales order profitability over time.

The standard report 'WIP at Reference Period' displays the work in progress (WIP) within a selected period, broken down by cost components such as man hours, machine costs, materials, and outsourcing. The data is grouped by production order line and general ledger account, with totals per group and summaries per production group. Additionally, the report includes a pivot table with WIP values per production group, providing insights into the composition and distribution of work in progress within a financial period.

The standard report 'PC-AC Production Orders' provides a detailed overview of production orders, including a comparison of pre-calculation and actual costs. For each order, data is displayed on items, quantities, material usage, operations, outsourcing, man-hours, and machine-hours. The report shows both pre-calculation and actual costs, including deviations per cost type. This provides insight into actual performance compared to expectations, including PC-AC factors and deviation amounts, sorted by production order and production group.

With the MKG API, it is possible to establish integrations between your ERP package and third-party software. From the Smart Industry perspective, we are working on new applications and technologies, digitalizing factories and the supply chain. In this webinar, we will show you the current possibilities to further automate your processes via add-ons. As an example, 2 integrations are highlighted: Arkoni and McMain.

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.

With the standard dashboard 'Unmanned Performance', you gain insight into the extent to which the actual production aligns with the planned man-machine ratio, visible per operation, item, and individual production order. The lower the realized MMR, the more a machine can run unmanned.

The man-machine ratio (MMR) is the ratio between the number of hours a machine can run with or without an operator. For example, if half a man-hour is required for each machine hour, then the man-machine ratio is 0.5 (also known as man per machine). In ERP, you enter the MMR in the 'Operations' table for each operation.

BCO helps you to increase your insight into the financial situation of your company and puts you in a better position to determine your cost price. Do you have knowledge of cost prices and do you know the BCO modules? In this article you will find a step-by-step plan to easily set up BCO.

Before you start with BCO, it is important to have the administration settings correct. On the Price Structure tab you will find the settings that are relevant for the BCO design. Of particular importance are the settings about Coverage and Operations.

Using the Shop Floor functionality, you can let your employees clock hours on all your direct and indirect operations. Essential for a reliable subsequent calculation. In the webinar 'Why Use Shop Floor in Production' we will introduce you to the MKG Shop Floor. You will not only see how to set up in MKG and what you should pay attention to, but also how the smart client works, or the interface on the work floor. This webinar serves as an introduction and shows you the benefits of working with the Shop Floor.

This article describes the administration settings on the 'General' tab. On this tab, you will find the settings for 'Registration default based on', 'Entering hours', 'Processing hours', 'Holidays', and 'Operations'.

BCO stands for Budgeting, Controlling, Optimizing. BCO helps you increase your insight into your company's financial situation and enables you to better determine your cost price. By budgeting your hours and costs now, you will fully cover your business expenses for the coming year with direct and indirect hours, and you will maintain the alignment between order result and business result.

How many hours will I run my machines next year? What does that mean for man-hours? By entering a number of variables you can easily budget all your operations. Per period you can see the budget machine hours and the required man-hours at a glance. This article shows you how to budget your operations.
