The involvement of internal structures as the base of effective cost reduction strategies
The restraint of operational costs as a way of involvement
When commercial margins are not as expected, we usually look for ways to increase income and we do not always think about optimizing our costs or, at least, not from all the angles that can contain them.
On other occasions, when companies try to reduce costs, staff reduction is seen as the most imminent way to reduce costs, usually forgetting the risk that this can have in the direct reduction of quality, the image of the company and the degree of involvement of the staff.
Dredex establishes a cost review system that will allow it not only to detect the potential present but also to establish an internal review system that will allow its long-term maintenance.
Assessment
To determine the expense generated by the company, the first thing we recommend is to carry out an audit in which each operation, uses, consumption and jobs, among others, are thoroughly studied.
Staff training
Training should never be understood as an expense, but as an investment. And more trained staff will be more productive in the medium and long term and, therefore, will save costs for the company.
Computerize management
The use of computer programs allows calculations to be standardized and streamlined, avoiding errors and facilitating the evaluation of the results in a timely and correct manner.
Incentives for targets
Another way to reduce costs is by motivating staff through objectives that must be measurable and understood as possible.
Process automation
To reduce costs, it is essential to have new tools that allow processes that were previously done manually to be carried out automatically, which improves efficiency and reduces the risk of errors that could cost money.
Create savings awareness
One of the keys to reducing the company's costs is by promoting the corporate culture of savings with employee awareness, as well as training and detection of opportunities to reduce costs.
