Each plants need to compare between the
actual result and standards performance to
get the variance analysis within one week.
Beginning of each month, the plants manager
prepare current estimation for the upcoming
and quarter on forms similar to the variance
analysis sheet

RATIONALE

Finally, by using variance analysis to identify areas

of concern, management has another tool to monitor
project and organizational health. In addition, people
reviewing the variances should focus on the
important exceptions so management can become
aware of changes in the organization, the
environment and so on. Without this information,
management risks blindly proceeding down a path
that cannot be judged as good or bad.

SHOULD THE PLANT MANAGER BE HELD RESPONSIBLE

FOR PROFIT ??

NO !!

WHY ??

REASON..

In our opinion, the plant managers cannot be held responsible for

the profits. This is because they have no control over the selling
price of the productive the sales and promotional expenditure or the
administrative costs.

The plant managers responsibilities are :

Responsible for the cost that they have placed a budget and
variance in the cost of the production or quantity used.

Responsible for the wastage take place, the excess raw

materials or labor used.

Responsible for new product development or product

improvement.

Plan, organize and direct manufacturing and maintenance

operation which ensure the most effective return on asset.

Initiative plans and processes which minimize manufacturing

cost through effective utilization of manpower, equipment,
facilities, materials, and capital. Assure attainment of business
objectives and productions schedules while insuring product
standards that will exceed our customers expectations
