Production Report Used in Cost Accounting

Bookmark and Share


The production report will show us what we produced at each operation in the process:  
  • The labor used 

  • The number of parts produced 

  • The parts per hour 

  • And compare it to a standard pieces per hour amount

The report should resemble something like this:  

Part # 1 Part# 2 Part# 3
Operation 10 20 10
Pcs Produced 1000 800 350
Production Hours 6 3 12
Downtime Hours 2 .50 4
Pcs per Hour 167 267 29
Std Pcs per Hour 300 300 200
Actual vs Std per hr -133 -33 -171


We can see from this report that none of our jobs have met the standard pieces per hour.  Part 3 has seriously missed the standard.
 What the Cost Accountant should do after running this report
  • Look for the serious problems like part 3 and maybe part 1.

  • Find out why the parts per hour were so low.

  • Make notes on the report of findings.

This way when management gets this report they will appreciate that a lot of the work has been done for them.  They can concentrate on the important task of correcting the problems that led to low production per hour.
