Cost Drivers Insight
Raw Material Impact: Expected 4.0% rise in next cycle CPU is primarily driven by recent global price increases in PP Granules (+8%).
Recommendation: Evaluate alternative local suppliers or negotiate bulk orders.
Labor Overtime: A 12% spike in labor cost per unit is projected due to weekend overtime scheduling for PO-0044.
Recommendation: Shift PO-0044 to weekday off-peak hours using Schedule Optimiser.
Machine Efficiency: Improved cycle times on IM-02 have decreased overhead absorption rate by LKR 2.50 per unit.
Status: Positive Trend
