Monthly management report
Reigate Precision Works
Finished-goods inventory days rose to 84 from 79 — the delayed Reigate assembly run pushed $186K of completed units into inventory ahead of the June ship date. Raw-materials and WIP held flat, so this is a finished-goods timing build, not a demand miss.
What determined the result
- Steel input cost ran 4% above the Q1 plan in April — the Hadley-mill surcharge hit two POs. The worker scored it a one-month spike; the supervisor saw a trend forming across the March-April POs, so it routed to your inbox to decide whether to reprice the standard cost.
- Gross margin held at 38.0% vs the 36.5% Q1 plan — the new CNC cell cut machine-hours per part on the high-runner line, lowering direct labor in COGS despite the steel surcharge.
