Overhead Costs V/S Production

Cut Waste, Boost Output — With Overhead-to-Production Intelligence This Power BI App helps you track how overhead costs relate to your production output, offering deep insight into operational efficiency. By analyzing labor, electricity, fuel, and compliance costs against monthly production value and volume, it enables smarter cost control and sharper plant-level benchmarking. With normalized visuals and category-specific ratios, the app empowers teams to pinpoint inefficiencies and reduce unjustified overheads across time and locations. Key Highlights: Cost-to-Output Ratios: Measure overhead efficiency per ton or dollar produced. Trend Analysis: Monitor year-over-year changes and spikes in cost categories. Location Benchmarking: Compare cost performance across plants or production sites. Component Breakdown: Analyze labor, energy, compliance, and safety costs in detail. Smart Filters: Drill down by location, year, quarter, or month to isolate key periods. Technical Framework: Data Source: Excel or system-export with monthly cost and production data by site. Power Query Data Prep: Cleans fields, calculates cost ratios, and enables time/location grouping. Data Model: Overhead Costs Table: Year, Month, Quarter, Location, Quantity Produced, Value Produced, Total Overhead Cost, Electricity, Labor, Heating/Fuel, Environmental & Compliance, Safety & Accidental Cover. Ideal For: Finance and Operations Teams optimizing cost efficiency across plants. Plant Managers seeking to align cost trends with output levels. Strategy Teams driving lean production and sustainability initiatives.
