With post-calculation in direct FOOD, you gain a valuable decision-making tool: document actual costs and revenues per production order, and get a full overview of the true profitability of each product, including raw materials, energy consumption, maintenance and waste.

Gain insight into manufacturing costs and earnings

Post-calculation allows you to identify budget deviations and uncover their root causes. The calculation includes all relevant cost elements – from operator wages, machine hours and energy use to maintenance, materials, packaging and product loss. As a manager in the food industry, you gain a solid foundation for setting the right prices, improving cost control, and increasing profitability for both finished and processed products.

By combining planned cost estimation before production with post-calculation afterwards, you can quickly adjust production routines and improve margins, without compromising quality. AMS has delivered solutions to the food industry since 1986 and helps you make the most of direct FOOD for more predictable and profitable manufacturing.

Post-calculation in direct FOOD enables smarter decisions

direct FOOD provides a powerful post-calculation tool that helps you identify cost deviations and potential for improvement. The system compares estimated and actual costs, showing where profits are generated and where margins are eroded. This gives you confidence when setting prices, planning budgets and prioritising the most profitable products.

The post-calculation also gives you insight into contribution margin per product, helping you steer production towards areas that deliver the greatest value. Many of our customers report that this insight makes it easier to focus on core products and reduce costs where they actually occur.

Post-calculation makes it easier to make profitable decisions – whether it’s reducing waste, improving production flow or strengthening competitiveness in the market.
