Case Study: "Actual Cost Management" Metal Press Industry ERP Package ATROX

After one year of implementation, despite being busy, we broke free from a state where no profits remained. This is a case where high productivity was achieved through the realization of appropriate pricing and the organization of unprofitable products.

Before implementing cost management, - Management decisions based on results were only made using monthly sales figures and the trial balance provided by the accountant, and the final numbers could only be understood after including the inventory amount at the end of the fiscal period. - Whether there were sales or not, both the field and the office were busy all year round. Thus, operations were conducted in a situation that was busy but did not yield profits. **Effects of Implementing the ERP Package ATROX** (1) Previously, price increases could only be done in a way that was cautious of the surrounding circumstances, such as "a uniform 10% increase," but now we can review prices based on the manufacturing costs of each product. Some products that would incur losses if produced have been discontinued. (2) Sales used to adjust prices to meet customer demands when they had a bulk order, but now they can provide proper answers while considering costs. (3) Since orders now lead to profits, meaningless conflicts between the field and sales have disappeared, allowing us to escape from being "busy but unprofitable" within a year.
