  Process the new product development forms from the salespeople. Calculate the cost of new products and changes in existing products so that the salespeople can send quotes to the customers. Analyze the cost of the finished goods to assist management with pricing issues and to make the manufacturing process more efficient. Create routings for finished goods to outline the steps in the manufacturing process. Update the routings with changes in the source material or manufacturing processes. Assign item codes to new products. Maintain the item database by changing the status of the item codes or item descriptions. ACCOMPLISHMENTS The new product development forms in the CRM system were difficult to locate because there was no numbering system. I suggested that each form have a unique number so there would be no confusion in processing them or finding them once they were complete. The administrator implemented this change. It made finding completed forms much more efficient. Show less
