Mohawk Fine Papers
Project Overview: How Mohawk Fine Papers uses ImpactECS
By integrating data from their BPCS LX ERP system and manufacturing systems, Mohawk has end-to-end visibility to actual costs and profitability across product lines. The addition of ImpactECS enabled the company to:
– Allocate SG&A costs at the product level to more fully evaluate overhead costs and their direct impact on item/product profitability
– Identify and close gaps in information systems and business processes to enhance visibility into actual costs and product profitability
– Provide business analysts with a powerful tool to perform analysis at a detailed level to drive manufacturing cost reduction initiatives
– Provide business analysts with visibility to a “pricing waterfall” to better evaluate incentive programs and conduct pricing rationalization
– Provide business analysts with the capability to analyze contribution margin by line of business, customer, region, product, and invoice
– Model future business opportunities and scenarios to understand impacts on cash flow and profitability
– Facilitate an organizational transformation from a focus on financial reporting towards business analytics
