At the end of the run, after all the labor has been employed, the materials have been used, and the time to correct problems has passed, you take a look to make sure you costed the job correctly. How many times are you surprised at the outcome? More often than not, what you end up [spending is a lot more than you projected..](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/i-want-my-product-contract-packaged-but)  **Why is that?**                  Did you not manage [your labor ](https://www.industrialpackaging.com/blog/justifying-automatic-vs-manual-packaging-equipment)correctly?
