DMRI Pork Profit® - Pork Pricing
A robust costing and pricing system forms the base for the decision making at the Sales Department. It allows profit maximization by means of the optimal product mix.
Such a system starts with the weekly price of the pork carcasses, which is transformed into individual 'break-even prices' – minimum price at which one article can be sold to obtain an even result – of all the possible sales articles by adding the related costs and introducing consistent splitting criteria based on standard cutting tests.

- Sales profit forecasting.
- Objective comparison of sales options.
- Determination of new products' sales prices.
- Profitability by product mix, comprising customers, sales channels, etc.
