Features & Functions of COSMO Plastics 2GO - M
Manufacturing Structures
Formulation: Customize recipes for large-scale production while integrating operational and instructional details for a seamless transition from concept to market.
Item Search by Manufacturing Dimensions: Expedite the search for items using comprehensive filters that target specific manufacturing dimensions, saving time and increasing efficiency.
Share/Share in %: Simplify the process of ingredient proportion adjustments with intuitive calculation features that ensure accuracy in recipe formulation.
Scenario-Based Calculation: Explore the financial impact of various product costs, contribution margins, or pricing scenarios to make informed business decisions.
By-products / Reclaim / Incorporation: Calculations for by-products and reclaimed items, as secondary outputs, are determined alongside the main product. Recycling of materials into production follows specific predefined limits.
Recipe/BOM Versioning: Effectively manage the evolution of your products with the capability to maintain and control multiple recipe and Bill of Materials versions.
Recipe Comparison Matrix: Strategically assess and compare different recipes to facilitate the development of new versions or alternative products.
Automatic BOM/Routing Link: Effortlessly connect your recipe/BOM with routing to organize production processes and anticipate ingredient requirements.
Tools / Inserts: In both extrusion and injection moulding, tools should be designated for use with specific work centers. Configurations of single-cavity and multi-cavity molds enable a flexible transition from low to high volume production.
Production Variants: Skillfully handle item variations and customize production processes to accommodate varying order sizes without disrupting workflow.
Production Simulation: Preemptively simulate the consumption and output for each production process to forecast results and optimize manufacturing.
Line Text for Instructions: Integrate comprehensive instructions (rich text) directly within the recipes/BOMs and routings to streamline communication and execution.
Overhead Calculation
Advanced Scenario Creation: Design tailored calculation scenarios that cater to your specific requirements, enabling you to make strategic decisions based on individualized data.
Overhead Calculation: Accurately compile direct costs and add charges. Our overhead calculation allows you to summarize and analyze expenses through flexible, user-designed scenarios for a clearer financial overview.
Item / Capacity Calculation Groups: Organize and categorize the costs associated with items / capacity efficiently. This feature helps in breaking down the cost elements, providing clarity and aiding in individualizing calculation scenarios.
Currency-Dependent Calculation: Adjust and recalculate costs dynamically in response to currency fluctuations, ensuring that your financial data remains accurate and relevant in a global market.
Customized Calculation Schedules: Set up calculation schedules that align with your business cycles and reporting needs. Tailor them to match your operational tempo for real-time, actionable insights.
Batch Processing
Manufacturing Dimensions: Benefit from advanced filtering and sorting of production orders by various manufacturing dimensions, enhancing your ability to manage and oversee complex scenarios.
Line Text: Integrate detailed, step-by-step instructions (rich text) directly within the production order to ensure clear communication and adherence to product specifications.
Actual Cost Calculation: Derive precise costings for your products with actual cost calculation capabilities, offering you a true reflection of production expenses for more accurate financial analysis and reporting.
Incorporation:
By-production:
Reclaimed Items:
Tool / Insert: Tools or inserts can be easily moved between work centers, enhancing operational flexibility. The operational time will be recalculated for the individual setting.
Production Rates:
