Intelligent Cost Reduction
Cost reduction through improvement & innovation
 
What is Intelligent Cost Reduction?
  The current global business environment is trapped in a vortex. The singular strategy for survival is intelligent cost reduction. Organizations need health in their bottom line for survival.

Our traditional vertical silo thinking for business management requires a paradigm shift. We need to remember that work flows horizontally through cross functional processes to the customer. The performance of these processes can impact the bottom line, significantly. Consequently, we need to focus on process efficiency, by eliminating the chronic waste locked (read budgeted) in manufacturing, services, and business processes. Dr J M Juran refers to this chronic waste as the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) of an organization.
 
Tip of Iceberg
  When it comes to COPQ, most organizations have a tendency to focus on the initial or visible 5-10% of total cost (waste, rework, inspection costs, etc). What is not evident, but crucial is that the rest 15-25% of the hidden cost is not visible. Metaphorically, this is comparable to the Iceberg.
