Manpower refers to the human labor force involved in manufacturing products, measured as the most critical and primary factor of production.
Key manpower criteria include educational qualifications, experience, employment status, number of workers required, skills, and expertise.
Material includes raw materials necessary for production, with considerations such as cost, quality, availability, supplier credibility, and waste.
Machine refers to manufacturing equipment used in production, with factors to consider being product type, production system, equipment cost, capacity, spare parts availability, efficiency, and required skills.
Method encompasses the process of transforming raw materials into finished products, dependent on product type, production mode, equipment, and required skills.

Value Chain and Supply Chain

Value chain refers to the activities that add value to an item, aiming to create a competitive advantage.
Supply chain involves organizations, people, activities, data, and resources in moving a product or service from supplier to customer.
Business model describes how an organization creates, delivers, and captures value in various contexts.

Module 7: Revenue and Forecasting

Revenue results when sales exceed production costs.
Factors affecting revenue forecasting include economic condition, competitors, community changes, and internal business aspects.
Plant capacity, raw material availability, labor, and salespersons are crucial in revenue forecasting.

Pricing and Revenue Calculation

Mark Up Price = (Cost x desired mark up percentage)
Selling Price = Cost + Mark Up
Projected Yearly Revenue = Projected daily revenue x 365 days
Projected Monthly Revenue = Projected daily revenue x 30 days

Cost of Goods Sold and Merchandise Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) refers to the amount of merchandise sold in a given period.
COGS is computed by adding beginning inventory to net purchases, then subtracting ending merchandise inventory.
Freight-in refers to the cost of transporting goods from supplier to buyer.

Module 8: Gross Profit and Profit Margin

Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Sales
Gross Profit Margin = (Gross Profit / Net Sales) x 100
Operating Profit Margin = Gross Profit - Operating Expenses
Net Profit Margin = Operating Profit - Income Tax and Interest Expense

Liquidity Ratios
