| The big savings in manufacturing are in variable costs - areas such as raw materials, energy, waste and water! |
Welcome to our blog, which we
hope to turn into your single most important source of information for all
things related to manufacturing cost reduction.
In a world where performance is
typically judged by progress against last year’s budget, we believe that many
manufacturing organisations are missing a golden opportunity to unlock huge
amounts of value through cost reduction. VWG Consulting, based in Johannesburg
South Africa, operates proven manufacturing cost reduction programmes, and we
would like to use this blog to help manufacturers in our home country and around the world to
sustainably reduce their costs. We also want to show that low-cost manufacturing need not be about tightening one's belt. Low-cost manufacturers invest in their businesses and are enabled to do so precisely because of the value they are able to unlock from cost-reduction. We have shown over several years that cost reduction programmes pay for themselves many times over.
Cost reduction in manufacturing
is complex. It is however possible to reduce costs without compromising product
quality, safety, throughput, flexibility or employee morale. We will explain
how in this blog using informative posts, examples, case studies and more.
Enjoy the journey with us and please communicate and give us feedback on our
posts.
