This PPT slide, part of the 62-slide Product Line Profitability Analysis PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured overview of the sources of cost information relevant to Kelly's product line profitability (PLP) analysis. It emphasizes the necessity of understanding the client's financial reporting system as a foundational step in this analysis. The content is divided into 3 main categories: the order database, the monthly manufacturing summary, and the vendor payments system.

Under the order database, key metrics include quantities of jars and buckets ordered by customers, along with the price per order. This data is reported weekly and is the responsibility of a marketing or sales analyst. The frequency of reporting suggests a need for timely insights into customer demand and sales performance, which are critical for effective inventory and production planning.

The monthly manufacturing summary provides insights into production metrics, such as ounce production by flavor and employee time reports. This information is crucial for assessing operational efficiency and labor costs, with the kitchen supervisor tasked with its compilation. Monthly reporting indicates a focus on longer-term trends in production that can inform strategic decisions.

Lastly, the vendor payments system captures essential cost components, including ingredient invoices and utility payments. This data is likely reported on a monthly basis, although specific timing is not detailed. Understanding these costs is vital for a comprehensive view of profitability across product lines.

Overall, the slide underscores the importance of systematic data collection and reporting in analyzing product line profitability. It highlights the roles of various stakeholders in this process, ensuring accountability and clarity in financial oversight.
