There are many ways organisations can reduce costs. BvW Global’s focus is on the reduction of redundant costs to increase profit margins.
Costs must be understood, measured and actioned in a logical approach. Failing to do so may add value to a single department only and not address cause and effect impacts.
Cost can be measured and decreased with various tools such as Procurement and Supply Management, Tier 3 Strategic Sourcing, Price and Cost Analysis, Supply Chain Management, Inventory Optimisation and Target Costing. These tools, when used in a harmonious manner contribute to an organisational cost elimination.
“Managing cost begins by creating visibility of these costs and their relationship impact to revenue and profit margins.”
Cost drivers must be understood and linked back to all Company cost reduction initiatives in order to avoid ‘passing-on’ cost from one department to the next, hiding the true picture, and failing to dramatically change organisations way-of-work.
