### "JX Nippon Mining & Metals review" — 5.0/5

> **Carla** | *9 March 2023* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The way all the modules interact with each other and are linked are most beneficial. The manufacturing module lets you set up machines with an overhead rate so the cost of the machine is layered onto the cost of the manufactured items. A direct labor rate is used for the labor portion of the costs as well.  TIW created custom modifications that make Alere even easier to use for the manufacturing personnel.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the reports are too lengthy and have too many columns.
> 
> The system is very robust and causes no problems. I like working with the staff at TIW too. They are always helpful and offer suggestions when creating custom modifications.
