A. In FY 67 our overall costs increased by 9%, as did the number of
items processed. The cost per item of work completed was reduced from
$1.49 in FY 66 to $1. 48 in FY 67. This is nbt a significant reduction in
cost, obviously; however, the fact that we were able to keep costs from
rising despite a general pay raise and the purchase of $72, 000 of new
equipment is worthy of mention. Had we not had a pay raise and had we
not purchased the Keytronic Document Sorter, our cost per item completed
would have been under $1.40.
B. Our production per person increased by 9% over FY 66.
C. Attached is a copy of a chart showing production, cost and other
data.
