CRS’s Impact

HOW CRS CAN IMPROVE YOUR COMPANY’S BOTTOM LINE.

Cost Reduction Specialists is committed to profit improvement for our clients.

One of our first steps is to conduct a thorough spend analysis to create a baseline and roadmap for targeting cost reduction opportunities. Spend is then categorized as direct and indirect expenses, and categories are ranked by the savings potential, complexity, internal impact on your organization and competitive options within the supplier marketplace.

Once this spend diagnostic is complete, Cost Reduction Specialists, will prioritize which areas should be targeted first. Sometimes market conditions or business cycles require some adjustments to the timing of these projects.

In developing your spend analysis, we compile all costs associated with a product or service so that we can determine the true Total Cost of Procurement. This includes the price of the actual product/ service as well as payment terms, inventory investment (if any), freight expenses, internal processes, rebates, and the ease or difficulty of doing business with the current supplier.

Our objective is to generate a long term positive financial result for you in as short of time-frame as possible while optimizing service, quality and customer satisfaction. By rolling up our sleeves and doing the critical detailed research, supplier interviews, value analysis, process mapping and strategic sourcing we maximally leverage the opportunity and its potential with “best in class” suppliers resulting in real $ubstantive $avings for our clients.
