Production Crises
Is your capital sitting on the shelf in vain?
Not according to order "No matter what happens, the machines should not remain idle" Production based on logic is the biggest secret enemy of industrial enterprises. Production Planning (MRP) In a factory without infrastructure, unplanned accumulation of semi‑finished inventory quietly erodes your profitability and cash flow.
The classic and painful scenario experienced on the factory floor: A very urgent, profitable order comes from the customer. However, the raw materials required to start production are not in the warehouse. On the other hand, tons of semi-finished products produced from old orders or based on estimates, which will not be used for another 6 months, take up space in the same warehouse.
Melting of Capital in Wrong Stock, Not in Fixed Assets
Many companies think that their capital lies in their machinery (fixtures) or buildings. However, when financial analysis goes deeper, the real cash trap is mismanaged inventories, especially those that turn out to be poorly timed semi-finished products. Semi-finished products that are produced faster and more than necessary, with the logic that the machines should work but the efficiency does not decrease (let's evaluate raw materials and time), are dead investments that do not bring any cash until they are sold or turned into main products.
Tied Up Cash (Opportunity Cost)
Company capital that you can use to buy urgent raw material, pay worker wages or make investments stays tied up in semi‑finished items that have not yet been ordered and are stored in the warehouse. When urgent needs arise, firms are forced to turn to external financing or loans due to cash crunch.
Hidden Storage Costs
of warehouse area Unnecessary occupation, loss of time due to stock counting, deformation of semi-finished products due to exposure to physical external factors during the waiting period and being wasted (scrapped) are an additional burden for the company. These items are literally left to "rot" in the warehouse.
Why is Production Planning (MRP) Vital?
If a ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) If you do not run MRP (Material Requirements Planning) through the system, you cannot know what you need to produce, when, in what quantity and at which workstation. What you will gain with Korgün ERP's production module and MRP infrastructure:
- Made to Order (MTO): Only products that are requested, ordered and guaranteed to be invoiced are produced "on time".
- Correct Raw Material Supply: A clear list is created of how much of which raw material is missing for which order and when it needs to be supplied.
- Minimum Stock, Maximum Cash: The production of unused stock items is prevented, warehouse costs are reduced and company cash flow is relieved.
- Traceability: The stage of the semi-finished product, the amount of scrap, and the labor cost incurred on top are reflected instantly in cost accounting.
Avoid Turning Your Warehouse into a Graveyard
The first step to solving the problem is to move production out of the "prediction-based unplanned work" cycle and base it on real order data, accurate recipe analyses, and scheduled work orders.
Establishing a realistic production planning and control cycle affects not only your warehouse; directly improves accounting, collections and profitability. Remember, every piece of goods produced but not sold means an interest-free loan buried in the warehouse.
