A 6-row table: Variance · Isolates · Owner. The main variances. Material price — Paid more or less per unit — Purchasing; Material usage — Used more or less material — Production; Labour rate — Wage rate difference — HR, planning; Labour efficiency — Hours taken — Production; Sales price — Charged more or less — Sales; Sales volume — Sold more or fewer — Sales, marketing.

When should you use the Variance Analysis poster?
