The line is producing costs faster than the books can recognize them.
Manufacturing needs uninterrupted shifts while Accounting needs labor and inventory values that reconcile each day.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My committee asked why the delivery cost moved again, and I had no clean answer.”

She evaluates whether contracted multi-day capacity will arrive on the timeline and economics presented to her utility.
What is at stake
$420,000 of manufacturing labor was accrued manually after the accounting cutoff. You have to weigh a faster daily close against preserving production flow and accounting controls.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- production continuity vs. daily cost accuracy
- automated exceptions vs. source-record verification
- fast close vs. supportable adjustments
