METAL FABRICATION
Buy in tons. Nest in millimeters. Cost every remnant.
Netzo models how metal plants actually move material: multi-UoM conversion, parent/child remnant lots, and FIFO layers when steel prices swing.
Sound familiar?
- 01Buy in metric tons, nest and consume in millimeters — conversions live in notebooks and drift.
- 02Remnants lose genealogy; scrap and reuse can't be proved on an OEM audit.
- 03Steel price jumps disappear into average cost until month-end margin shocks.
- 04Operators skip the ERP terminal and run paper tickets beside the shear.
How plants like yours run Netzo
Multi-UoM without spreadsheet glue
Base, inventory, purchase, and manufacture units with convert flows that are ledger events — not tribal math.
Remnant lots in the genealogy
Parent/child remnant lots keep cut-offs traceable from coil to finished frame.
FIFO on volatile steel
New receipts open new layers. Jobs that consume expensive steel carry that cost on the order — not a blended plant average.
Scenario
A plant like Aceros y Ensambles del Norte in Apodaca buys coil in tons, nests in millimeters, and ships frames to US OEMs. Two warehouses, one factory. With Netzo, remnants stay in the lot tree, holds block bad coils, and Finance sees FIFO COGS per shipment — while operators finish receive and dispatch on scan portals in weeks, not after an 18-month program.
