Overhead allocation check
A focused assessment of how factory overhead is pooled and absorbed — and whether allocation keys still match how the plant runs.
Format
Desk assessment with plant interview day
Duration
About 1–2 weeks
Pricing basis
Fixed fee for agreed pools and periods
Location
Primarily desk-based; one plant day recommended
Why plants ask for this
Overhead keys set years ago — machine hours, headcount, square metres — often lag changes in product mix, automation, and outsourced steps. This check re-examines pool composition and absorption for named periods, then shows the product-cost effect of plausible alternative keys using your own volume data.
Outputs
You receive a short technical memo on current pools, a comparison table for alternative keys, and a recommendation set that finance can take to the next standard-cost revision. We stop short of deciding commercial pricing; the work stays inside cost accounting integrity.
