The Challenge
A food manufacturer struggled to calculate accurate labor costs for a product produced over two days with overlapping batches and a shared WIP component used across multiple items.

What I Did
I redesigned the labor‑tracking methodology from daily to weekly aggregation and implemented separate labor tracking for the WIP item, with structured allocation into the final product.

The Result
The company uncovered the true cost of its WIP component and redesigned the process, reducing total labor cost of the finished good by 12%.
