Cost Reduction

Effective sourcing is a low risk opportunity to increase profitability. Even modest savings lead to a significant profit improvement.

For example, a company with a 10% profit margin who spends 60% of sales on purchasing will achieve a 30% gain in profits by reducing their total purchases by only 5%.

Typically, savings of between 5% and 25% (and often more) are delivered for every £1 brought under our management.

Optimum's key to success is the long term sustainablility of cost reduction methods.  Some key focus areas include:

• Supply Chain Optimisation
• Improved Asset Utlisation
• Reduced Sourcing Cycle Time
• Increased Supplier Led Innovation
• Improved Working Capital & Cash Flow
• Process Improvement
• Compliance to Contract
