Manufacturers don’t need another system overhaul or an open‑ended consulting engagement. They need a disciplined, audit‑driven approach that reveals the truth, fixes the root causes, and keeps the business running on facts — using forensic accounting and internal‑audit methods, not assumptions. Our engagement model provides exactly that.
We begin with a forensic reconstruction of the last 12 months of production, comparing actual results to standards across material, labor, and factory overhead. Managerial and indirect costs are allocated based on real output to show the true cost of each product, customer, and line.
The result is a single, factual baseline — a clear, data‑driven view of where margins are leaking, and why. Fee is fixed and scoped to plant size and data readiness before work begins.
We validate BOMs, routings, labor models, overhead rates, and inventory flows using internal‑audit techniques. Every variance is traced to its operational source — not explained away. This phase produces corrected standards, validated cost layers, and a clear picture of margin leakage.
For manufacturers who want continuous clarity, we provide monthly forensic reviews, inventory validation, and audit‑driven oversight of costing updates. This keeps your numbers accurate, your team accountable, and your decisions grounded in operational truth.
