Cost Reduction Analysis by Steven Bragg
|
|
Author Overview A central concern of any company is how to reduce its costs, since any cost reduction flows straight into profits. However, cost reduction must be accomplished without impacting customer loyalty or reducing the ability of the organization to achieve its long-term goals. Thus, the real issue is how to carefully pare away unnecessary costs while maintaining a robust organization. Cost Reduction Analysis shows how to do this. It describes a variety of cost reduction tools and the issues associated with using them, and then goes on to describe various forms of cost reduction in key expense areas, such as sales and marketing, production, payroll, and benefits.
