Know what the batch really cost
Standard cost says one thing, month-end says another, and nobody can point at the batch where the money leaked. Frontlink builds the cost per batch from what actually happened on the line.
Find the batches that ate the margin
Averages hide the damage: one bad run disappears into a monthly figure that looks fine.
Every batch shows its actual cost next to standard, with the variance explained by downtime, scrap, and speed. The expensive habits finally have names and dates.
Maintenance that answers to uptime
Breakdowns interrupt production, and preventive maintenance happens when someone remembers.
Operators raise maintenance requests from the line, planned maintenance lands in the production calendar, and MTBF and MTTR turn the discussion into facts.
Problems this solves
Costing closes the loop back to planning
What a batch really cost informs what you plan next, and maintenance windows land in the schedule instead of surprising it.
Common questions
Where does the actual cost come from?
From execution data: real consumption, real labour time, real downtime, and real scrap per batch, valued automatically. No end-of-month reconstruction.
Does this replace ERP costing?
No, it grounds it. Frontlink explains the operational variance per batch; your ERP keeps the financial books. The two finally tell the same story.
How do maintenance requests reach the right people?
Operators raise them from the line with one tap. Requests carry machine, symptom, and priority, land with maintenance staff instantly, and are tracked to resolution.
