Improving Productivity Starts With Improving Management
Business owners know that workers who aren’t using their time and resources effectively are costing the company money. Declining productivity means falling profits and sliding competitive position. That makes the findings from this year’s (2007) Proudfoot Productivity Report a cause of concern to employers.
Reducing Costs to Boost Profits
One of the big secrets of multinationals is their constant striving to become the lowest cost producer in their field. These low costs feeds straight through to their bottom line, and is a technique that can also be used by small companies.
Choose a supplier the way you’re chosen
1. How dependable are they?
2. What’s their value proposition?
3. Do they have a true service mentality?
4. Are they good at communicating with customers?
5. Will they be there next week, and next year?
6. What’s their ‘fit’ with your business?
Danger lurks in your inventory
If your inventory is not properly managed it becomes the equivalent of money that’s depreciating at an increasing rate and can actually drop below zero value. Be aware of the danger and don’t let this situation develop.
