Reporting in manufacturing
Reporting in manufacturing involves gathering and presenting information about production processes and products. It helps you monitor and improve production costs and performance and share results with stakeholders.
Reporting in manufacturing is crucial because it helps you manage costs, performance, and profitability. It allows you to identify and eliminate waste, inefficiencies, and errors in the production process, optimise production, forecast future production costs and revenues, and make informed decisions about planning, budgeting, pricing, and investment. Additionally, reporting helps demonstrate the value and quality of products or services and meet the needs of stakeholders such as managers, investors, customers, and regulators.
To design and prepare effective reports, you need to consider the purpose and audience of the report, the content and structure of the report, and the format and style of the report.
