Are you struggling to maintain or create cost management solutions?

Cost management solutions (aka cost containment solutions) are challenging even for multi billion dollar companies. In order to effectively create a cost containment policy or better still give responsibility for cost management to a team of professionals it is vital that the premise of cost containment is clearly understood. Cost containment isn’t just about receiving the highest possible discounts against "list” price or simply the greatest purchasing power possible – but rather cost containment might more accurately be described as cost management and it is with that in mind that we title this cost management solutions.

Cost management solutions should include:

 

1. A full understanding of a bench mark by which to measure success.
2. A comprehensive cost containment plan going forward.
3. A detailed list of individual SKU items comprising of expenditure over a period of at least a year so that your cost containment solutions may be specifically driven to actual expenditure rather than anticipated expenditure.
4. Supplier negotiations – whether staying with the incumbent vendor or moving to another supplier, this is one of the most difficult areas of cost management. Effective  cost containment solutions must be aligned with real expenditure and this is why a simple GPO (Group Purchasing Organization) simply does not work – because a GPO has great prices for a handful of items but not individual expenditure. Vendors are in the business of making profit (from you) and it is very unlikely that a vendor will tell you that they are overcharging you. But they probably are! Do you know by how much? We do.
5. Implementing new vendor relationships or new contracts requires a certain level of expertise and failing to understand this sufficiently could derail a cost management plan.
6. Audit. Audit. Audit. With even the best cost management solutions in place unless regular audits are undertaken then all the cost containment efforts may be in vain.
