Helping people in Business,
to MAXIMISE the Bottom Line.
Cost Reduction - Methodology
We meet at your offices for an initial discussion – no cost to you.
Once appointed, we undertake a comprehensive analysis of your current purchasing procedures & arrangements, across a range of over 15 products and services.
We then research potential improvements, in terms of price, quality, delivery & overall value to you.
When completed, we recommend available and practicable solutions.
Once you give us the go-ahead, we implement the recommendations, keeping you fully informed of the progress being made at all stages.
We then monitor the processes for the duration of the agreed period of our involvement, to ensure that the improvements in pricing, quality, delivery & value are being achieved exactly as planned.
Methodology
A Typical Scenario......
A Long established family run plastic moulding business making parts for the motor industry finds that its turnover has grown strongly in the past decade, but it has not grown its back-office functions to match.
As a result, many of the general goods & services it purchases, and which are used in the day to day running of the business, happen on an as-and-when basis, being performed by staff who are not trained or experienced in the art of buying.
The absence of forward planning costs them dearly in terms of price, quality and value, and since the business is suffering a decline in orders owing to cut backs being imposed on their customers, so too is their turnover suffering.
The costs of the goods & services it purchases have therefore become increasingly burdensome, and they need expert input to ensure that they are getting the best possible prices & value for the many items they still have to buy to keep the business going.
