Effective, practical methods for guaranteed results

Cost reduction is a proven strategy for improving profits. Yet it is remarkable how often businessmen and managers pay lip service to the subject while examining various options to improve profits. This is because it is difficult to initiate a comprehensive cost reduction program unless you know where to start. Today's fierce competition, however, demands more serious and formal attention to the discipline of cost reduction.

Drawing on his own successful and extensive experience in reducing costs and improving profits, author Harry Figgie shows businessmen and managers how to implement an effective and comprehensive cost reduction program that will provide immediate and long-lasting results for their businesses. He also demonstrates how, dollar for dollar, profit improvements derived from cost savings are worth more to a company than equal profits resulting from growth in sales.

This book will arm you with the three basic and proven steps for achieving effective cost savings—Organization Analysis, Ratio Analysis and Work Sampling—and also offers dozens of valuable tips for cutting costs, including day-to-day guidelines, extensive checklists and easy-to-use analytical techniques. Harry Figgie's 30-day "quick and dirty" action program will lead to immediate results. Among the important cost-cutting topics covered are :

  • Setting Priorities

  • Sales Forecasting

  • Inventory Control

  • Pricing

  • Product Redesign

  • Lobour Costs

Businessmen and managers looking to conserve cash and improve their firm's botton-line performance in today's competitive and demanding times will find this book pays for itself many times over.
