Hello! I am currently working for a mid-size company. We manufacture paint, mud&texture and other products. The company started as as a mom-and-pop business. Now we have 20 stores and 10 manufacturing plants. I have to admit our system is very outdated but I am working here while I get my CPA. ( I always get out at 4:45pm) 🙂
I was curious how other companies calculate their inventory. We use the perpetual system but we don’t have a bar code system. We constantly rely on our employees to submit their count sheets for our finished good products. (Some people can’t count) We don’t have a cost managerial department. Our manufacturing cost for all our products seem to based on our one of our best selling product. Basically we are using the same estimate for direct labor, overhead cost. -_-
I think it should be done differently but I don’t have experience in a manufacturing company.
How do you guys calculate direct labor and manufacturing expenses? Do you guys have a bar code system? What kind of system do you suggest? This is my first job in a manufacturing company. Any tips??!!
