Rana Costing
Textile costing with visible assumptions.
A costing workflow around fabric construction, yarn inputs and conversion costs. Calculations and commercial outputs need verification against an approved reference before use in a quotation.
Architectural Principle
Keep inputs, assumptions and outputs visible so a person can review the result before taking action.
Workflow areas under exploration
CAPABILITY 01
Construction inputs
CAPABILITY 02
Yarn assumptions
CAPABILITY 03
Itemised cost breakdown
CAPABILITY 04
Margin scenarios
Proposed workflow
1. Machine & Business Inputs
Example inputs to review before connecting a system:
- Construction and yarn rates
- Waste, conversion and margin assumptions
2. Reasoning & Optimization
How the system structures and evaluates constraints:
- Expose calculation inputs
- Compare a result with a reference costing
3. Actionable Decisions
Outputs intended for human review:
- Cost breakdown for review
- Questions to resolve before quoting
Explore a pilot for Rana Costing
A proposed pilot would focus on one workflow, agreed sample inputs and a reviewable output. Scope, access and success criteria would be agreed before any implementation.
