Can open production orders achieve their quoted margin?
Recalculate margin by product and order using actual materials, labour, energy, scrap, changeovers and capacity. Confirm that backlog can be delivered with available inputs.
What machinery and quality investment is required after completion?
Inspect machinery, maintenance, safety, quality certifications, non-conformities, supplier concentration, inventory, environmental obligations and customer warranties.
Where are the critical customer, supplier and operator dependencies?
Deferred investment, unpriced cost inflation, obsolete stock and dependence on key operators or suppliers can turn reported profit into future cash need.
How will production parameters and open orders pass to the buyer?
Document bills of material, settings, quality plans, schedules, maintenance, suppliers and responsibility for every open order and complaint.
