Weakness & Risk
Cost allocations to specific customer orders or bulk orders might not be accurate without proper Customer Job Cards/Inventory Job Cards (CJC/IJC) and Daily Production Reports. This creates the risk that a customer can be over or under charged on a specific order which can cause the company to make less profit resulting in financial damage or the client to pay an excessive amount for the order/product which could damage the relationship with the client
