Estimation

  • Customer requirements change - hence, are order quantities and combinations. AIMS Estimation helps you respond instantly to customer queries with accurate estimation of time, cost, and scope of every order - whether it is a batch production of diaries or continuous production of newspaper.

  • AIMS lets you define main processes and subprocesses involved in manufacturing each of your product item like diary, label and books. You can factor in requirements of people, materials, machine time, components for the particular production process. This way, you specify processes and also standardize your manufacturing operations.

  • Compare the cost of production of a product for any given periods or intervals: month-on-month or year-on-year basis. Analyse factors - items like materials or labour cost or processes such as packaging or outsourcing - that contribute to variations, if any. Or know variations based on Bill of Materials (BoM) or process rates.
