reduce cost workshop manual

The search for valuable cost-cutting opportunities has become a demanding activity in today's highly competitive environment. There are a lot of reasons why there is so much pressure on this activity:

The competition has become harder and harder, we have to come up with more ideas with impact on the bottom line continuously;

Most organisations have installed quality systems and methods which makes it harder to differentiate on cost;

Markets have become more international and dynamic. We have to come up with new cost-reducing-ideas and find opportunities all the time;

People turnover within organizations has never been higher in organizations and new management mostly means new policies and new rules to perform better;

70% of all markets are saturated with low margins and profitability so a higher pressure on the bottom line.

Creativity has a bigger impact when applied on cost cutting above r&d or marketing. 1% cost reduction has 4 times more impact on the profitability than 1% increase in turnover.

International crisis one after the other come and go more often making organizations very focused on being lean and mean.

Due to new mergers and acquisitions organizations have to re-tune and improve their cost management more often.
