Zaena Manufacturing

From recipe
to real cost.

Bills of materials, production orders, and output tracking that shows expected vs. actual quantity and cost on every batch, so waste and shrinkage show up as numbers, not a feeling at month-end.

Included on the Maker plan

Define it once

A Bill of Materials
for every product you make.

List exactly what a finished product needs each raw material, the quantity required, the unit. Set it up once per product, and every production run after that measures itself against it.

Draft → started → closed

Every batch,
tracked start to finish.

A production order moves raw materials into finished stock through a real lifecycle, drafted, started, completed, closed. Nothing becomes sellable inventory without going through the order that made it.

Expected vs. actual, every time

Wastage isn't a guess.
It's a number.

Every production output records the quantity and cost you expected, and what you actually got. The difference; quantity variance, cost variance, is calculated automatically, batch by batch, so shrinkage patterns become visible instead of invisible.

OUTPUT — BATCH #0091-A
Expected quantity1,000
Actual quantity974
Quantity variance−26 (−2.6%)
Expected raw material cost$274.67
Actual raw material cost$285.67
Cost variance+$11.00

What it actually costs

Raw material, production cost,
and waste, all rolled into one unit cost.

Every finished unit carries its real cost breakdown: raw materials consumed, production costs absorbed, and waste/loss cost apportioned, and not a flat estimate applied across everything you make.

Raw Material Cost
Actual cost of ingredients consumed for this batch.
Production Costs Absorbed
Labour and overhead costs recorded against the order.
Waste / Loss Cost
The cost of what didn't make it to finished stock.
Unit Cost
The real cost per finished unit, everything, divided by what you actually got.

Production you can see the cost of, batch by batch
