What ReSpark changes about processing
The old way creates work. ReSpark replaces it.
Without ReSpark
- Processing and regrades break inventory accuracy. Outputs do not tie back to inputs.
- Shrink and processing costs are estimated, not tracked against actual production.
- Batch production runs across multiple suppliers lose traceability at the shredder.
- Month-end reconciliation requires manual matching of production records to inventory.
With ReSpark
- Every processing step mapped from input materials to finished outputs.
- Full cost allocation and supplier traceability through the entire production process.
- Preview cost impact before committing. Inventory updates in real time.
Key Capabilities
Everything processing should be.
One-to-many regrades
- Split one input material into multiple outputs with configurable allocation and full supplier traceability.
Batch production recipes
- Recipes for shredders and choppers — multi-supplier batches with per-supplier attribution end-to-end.
Packaged WIP with supplier traceability
- Packages preserve supplier and ticket identity, with line-item cost basis from receipt through production.
Cost allocation and preview
- Distribute weight, cost, shrink, and processing burden across outputs — and preview before applying.
Recovery override
- Override expected recovery percentages per ticket — with RMU pricing when actuals differ from defaults.
Audit trail
- Full regrade history with reason codes, user attribution, and links to inventory and period locking.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What does processing cover?
Any transformation of material inside the yard — shredding, baling, shearing, sorting, wire chopping. You build processing rules that map input materials to output materials so yield is captured rather than estimated.
How do processing costs get into inventory cost?
Assign a cost per commodity and per process. When the job runs, that cost is applied to the outputs and weighted average cost is recalculated for each resulting material.
Can we see the cost impact before committing a job?
Yes. Preview the resulting weighted average costs before the job is finalized, so you know what a run does to your position and margin before you commit it.
How do finished goods get tracked after processing?
Outputs can be packaged and tagged as finished goods with QR codes, which lets yard staff identify and look up a package from a phone and keeps finished goods inventory tied back to the material that produced it.
Does processing support multi-step production?
Yes. Outputs of one process can become inputs to the next, and loose WIP can be packaged as a direct inventory action rather than only at the end of a production run.
