Methods and measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency
Methods and measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency, each enterprise their daily work is to sell to increase the efficiency of the enterprise, the bosses will think about how to save costs, reduce costs, in fact, reduce costs and increase efficiency is an important part of the work of each enterprise, the following I will share with you to reduce costs and increase efficiency of the methods and measures.
methods and measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency 1First, "reduce costs and increase efficiency" steps to carry out the work
1, the work of the preliminary preparatory stage is mainly:
(1) the formation of the "reduction of costs and increase efficiency (2) hold a "cost reduction and efficiency" work mobilization and layout meeting, from the leadership level at all levels of the enterprise, clear "cost reduction and efficiency" on the development of the significance of the enterprise, the formation of "cost reduction and efficiency" consciousness;
(3) the use of a variety of media, publicity and mobilization of all staff to participate in the creation of a business up and down the participation of all the people of the "cost reduction and efficiency" atmosphere, let At the same time, you can organize and carry out the collection of "cost reduction and efficiency" good suggestion activities to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees to participate.
2, the specific implementation phase of the work is mainly:
(1) clear business expectations throughout the year to achieve the "cost reduction and efficiency" target value, and this indicator is broken down one by one to each of the cost items, and at the same time, take measures to ensure that the implementation of the smallest unit to the internal management of the enterprise.
(2) The management of the enterprise can be combined with the decomposition of the implementation of the comprehensive budget assessment indicators, the cost of each subdivided into departmental controllable costs and departmental non-controllable costs, such as office expenses, travel costs and other departmental controllable costs one by one decomposition of the implementation of the requirements of the departments must be used in the specified budget for the departmental costs that are not controllable, in accordance with the source of the formation of the cost of cost control, the overall responsibility of the main body, and then by the department of the overall responsibility of the main body, and then by the department of cost control. The overall responsibility of the main body, and then the department to take the lead in the implementation. Such as energy costs, repair costs, etc.
(3) After the target is issued, we should strengthen management, control expenditures, and ensure the realization of budget targets.
3, summarize the assessment phase of the work is mainly:
(1) regularly convene the "cost reduction and efficiency" work conference, combined with the completion of the budget targets, to summarize the achievements of the previous phase, analyze the existing weaknesses, while developing the next step of the work measures.
(2) the end of the year according to the completion of the budget targets issued, combined with the "cost reduction and efficiency" achieved results, the completion of the assessment of the various departments, rewards and punishments, encouragement of advanced, punishment of backward.
Second, "cost reduction and efficiency" work to take the main measures
1, improve the efficiency of capital utilization, reduce financial expenses. If it is a unified control model of the group, you can set up a pool of funds in the form of subordinate enterprises in the form of mutual deployment of funds between the enterprises, in order to reduce the group outside of the borrowing of funds, from the perspective of the group as a whole to reduce the financial costs. If the enterprise needs external borrowing and financing, it should communicate with a number of banks in order to strive for the most favorable loan interest rates. At the same time, improve the accuracy of the budget for the use of internal funds, rationalize the deployment of funds, temporarily idle funds, take the necessary means to improve the profitability of funds. If it is an enterprise with scientific and technological content, it can give full play to the advantages of the enterprise, and strive for the support of various government support funds or loan interest rate concessions. You can also accelerate the speed of capital turnover, accelerate the recovery of accounts receivable or the use of accounts receivable factoring business, extend the payment cycle of accounts payable and other measures to reduce the occupation of funds, reduce the cost of capital. If the market price of the material used in the enterprise product fluctuates greatly, you can use hedging and other financial instruments to achieve the purpose of maintaining the level of corporate profits.
2, strengthen the production cost of fixed consumption assessment, improve the efficiency of material turnover. Reduce production costs is the enterprise "cost reduction and efficiency" the most important means, according to the material, labor, fees, respectively, to take appropriate measures. Such as in the material consumption, the development of scientific and reasonable material consumption quota, and strictly in accordance with the quota assessment of the amount of material used to the most reasonable material consumption to produce qualified products. Manufacturing costs need to be differentiated according to the specific content of the variable costs, semi-variable costs and fixed costs, for the different nature of the cost of different expenditures, respectively, to develop different budgets. With the quota and budget, in the work of strict implementation, and ultimately achieve the purpose of reducing production costs and improve the efficiency of the enterprise.
3, improve the ability of workers and unit labor efficiency. Talent is the soul of the enterprise, only to play the enthusiasm of each employee, improve the skills of employees, in order to put the specific "cost reduction and efficiency" measures into practice. The staff's ability to work, proficiency and sense of responsibility is essential to reduce waste in the production process. By improving the efficiency of the unit of labor, it is possible to maximize the corresponding efficiency gains. Strengthen vocational skills training and production link management, rational arrangement of personnel positions and other human resources, can be from the perspective of reducing labor costs to reduce corporate costs.
4, energy saving, reduce energy consumption. Energy costs in general in the enterprise production and operation costs accounted for a large proportion, in addition to the machine operation of the necessary energy consumption, all employees in the daily use of air conditioning, water, electricity, etc. should develop a good habit of saving, day after day will be a small gain. At the same time, eliminating the implementation of large energy-consuming equipment, the use of advanced equipment, equipment, rationalize the operation of time, can reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
5, strengthen the daily cost expenditure management. Each department through in-depth analysis of mining, can find out the cost of daily expenses can be saved. Part, such as the use of more paperless office, reduce the waste of various paper; go out to do less taxi ride more public **** transportation; reduce unnecessary meetings, or more use of telephone, video conferencing and so on.
6, strengthen the construction of the system, standardize the cost standards. Through the development of a clear system of travel transportation, accommodation, business hospitality, postal and telecommunication costs, vehicle use and other costs are formed to standardize the scope and range of expenditure, and in the actual reimbursement process is strictly enforced, standardized use.
7, the key point of cost reduction and efficiency is to improve production efficiency, improve product quality, optimize the production cycle of the product. Through the optimization of product structure, improve production efficiency, reduce the product input and output cycle, reduce the scrap rate, accelerate the turnover of materials, reduce the occupation of inventory sites, improve the turnover rate of all types of inventory and other measures, are to achieve the reduction of enterprise costs are important measures.
8, improve the efficiency and effectiveness of asset utilization. The input of fixed assets will generally take up a large part of the funds in the acquisition of assets, fully research, so that the assets purchased to meet the actual needs of the enterprise, to avoid the blind pursuit of high tip, and in the production and operation can be used reasonably, to maximize the benefits. For the assets that have been purchased, frequent inspections, rational allocation, reduce idle equipment, while strengthening equipment maintenance, improve equipment pipeline inspection frequency, reduce equipment failure rate. In terms of equipment repair, give full play to the potential of the workers themselves, cultivate the enterprise's own repair personnel, and reduce the equipment sent out for repair.
Third, "cost reduction and efficiency" should pay attention to matters
1, to ensure product quality as a prerequisite, to distinguish between the ability to reduce the cost of the cost and the cost can not be reduced. Reduce the cost is only one of the measures to improve the efficiency of enterprises, if you cut corners and reduce product quality to achieve cost reduction, it is the short-term behavior of the original intention of the opposite, and ultimately the damage is the long-term interests of enterprises.
2, to be people-oriented, to meet the basic production and operation and staff work, life needs as a prerequisite. For example, for should maintain a certain temperature and humidity of the working environment, in order to reduce consumption, but not open the air conditioning, so that the consequences caused by this may be a decline in efficiency, affecting the health of workers, and even affect the quality of the product, and ultimately will be a small loss, lose the "cost-effective" significance.
3, cost reduction measures to be practical, measures to work with the actual situation, with sustainability. Enterprises need to continue to develop, the product must be able to maintain consistency with market demand, because the product to adapt to the market is the best product, and the necessary scientific and technological investment in the enterprise products to adapt to market changes is always an important factor for enterprises to be able to bring long-term benefits of scientific and technological inputs, not only can not be reduced, but also to give strong support and bias. Enterprise cost reduction measures are many, but for each specific measure, need to consider whether the measures can continue to take and produce substantial benefits to the enterprise.
4, "cost reduction and efficiency" to achieve good results, a reasonable performance appraisal measures are necessary, only incentives synchronized to keep up, in order to improve the enthusiasm of employees to participate in the enterprise and motivation, so as to achieve certain results. However, if the assessment measures are formulated or applied improperly, it may bring the opposite effect, and may even form another waste of resources. When formulating "cost reduction and efficiency" assessment measures, they must be thoughtful and comprehensive. When implementing incentives, they should also be based on the final results achieved, and evaluated realistically.
5, reduce costs in the production and operation process is important, for the development of the market can not be relaxed. "Reduce costs and increase efficiency" at the same time still need to mobilize the enthusiasm of marketing personnel, actively explore and cultivate new markets, increase the existing market share to expand sales, and ultimately increase corporate income, thereby increasing corporate benefits.
6, "cost reduction and efficiency" should be as a long-term work in the process of sustained development of enterprises, not just a passing activity. Continuous development of profitable enterprises should be prepared for danger, through the "cost reduction and efficiency", the formation of the whole staff to save the consciousness and habits, and enhance the ability of enterprises to participate in market competition. Only always have a sense of worry, in order to make the enterprise invincible in the competition.
The methods and measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency 2
1, rely on modern management to reduce costs
To reduce costs, we must grasp the management of this program. Enterprises should implement cost target management and economic responsibility system, strengthen cost accounting, in production, supply, marketing, finance and other links to strengthen the management of the production cost of raw materials, auxiliary materials, fuel, power, wages, manufacturing costs, administrative costs and other items in each item of the cost breakdown to the unit cost of the product, so that the cost of accounting into the workshop, into the team, to the head. Become the static control for dynamic control, the formation of full staff, the whole process, all-round cost control pattern, so that cost reduction is implemented into the specific actions of each employee. On this basis, one is to strengthen the supply management, control material costs. Enterprises should formulate the purchase of raw materials to control the price directory, the implementation of the method of procurement, the implementation of the comparison of goods, the choice of the best buy, to do the same quality to buy a low price, the same price to buy near the same price, the same quality at the same price, can be used domestically do not have to import, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing costs; Secondly, we must strengthen the management of supplies, reduce the physical and chemical labor consumption. Material storage and consumption of high and low, directly affecting the rise and fall of product costs. Therefore, the enterprises should be from the development of material consumption quota to the issuance of materials to implement strict control of raw materials and other materials consumption of supplies, to implement the quota classification management, in the ordering batch and stock reserves and other aspects of the implementation of key controls, in accordance with the applicable, timely, complete and economic principles of the use of the plan issued, and with the financial income and expenditure plans, ordering contracts, combined with the assessment of the economic responsibility system, to the Affect the cost of the various consumption of systematic control and target management, to prevent all kinds of unnecessary waste, so as to achieve a reasonable storage, use of materials, reduce costs, improve efficiency, so that it not only to ensure the reasonable needs of production, but also to reduce the occupation of funds; Third, to strengthen the marketing management, reduce the cost of sales. To enhance the legal awareness of the sales staff and strengthen sales management, in each sales business before the occurrence of the customer's operating conditions and the ability to pay a serious investigation and approval, can not be shipped hastily, not to engage in "emotional transactions", "gentleman's agreement". In order to avoid unnecessary economic losses, the wages of business personnel, bonuses, travel expenses, grants, operating expenses and handling charges, short-distance transportation costs, transit links and other costs in line with both savings, but also to mobilize the principle of enthusiasm to develop appropriate management methods, and strict assessment and rewards and penalties, the arrears of payments, to take economic, legal and administrative means to be actively collected; Fourth, we must strengthen the management of funds to control spending! Saving costs. Enterprises should establish a sound financial supervision system, the establishment of the factory bank, through the implementation of simulated market accounting to reduce costs, control costs to improve economic efficiency, to avoid the use of money without a plan, spending without standards, multi-approval of the article and the phenomenon of serious money leakage phenomenon caused by the use of funds on the cost of the practice of strict strengthening of the control of the funds, so that all employees feel the pressure of competition in the market, and change the accounting by a few for the Everyone should be in charge of financial management, especially to strengthen the accounting of administrative costs and some business costs, including the management of administrative, travel, office expenses and other expenditures. In this regard, according to the different nature of the work undertaken, accounting for the cost of each head of the base for the control of the assessment, each pencil, each piece of paper must be charged from the contracted amount.
2, rely on technological transformation to reduce costs
In recent years, the rising prices of raw materials, energy prices on the rise of costs have a great impact. How to reduce costs and improve efficiency in the presence of these unfavorable factors? Enterprises must establish the concept of technological transformation is an important way to reduce costs, through technological transformation, the use of new technologies, new processes, new materials, improve the technical content of products, open up ways to reduce production costs. First, we should pay special attention to process technology reform, and actively adopt new technologies, new techniques to save energy and reduce consumption, fundamentally reduce the consumption of raw materials, in order to achieve product quality goals at the same time, to ensure that the realization of the cost control objectives; secondly, in the implementation of technological transformation projects should pay attention to reducing the construction cost of the project, focusing on less investment for more returns. On the one hand, we should take a short, flat, fast technical reform; on the other hand, we should take the extraordinary infrastructure and technical reform management, the timing of the project should be selected, the project should be accurate, the implementation of the fast, under the premise of ensuring quality, and do everything possible to speed up the progress of the technical reform project and reduce the cost of the project, and strive for an early return on investment.
3, by deepening the reform to reduce costs
Deepening the reform of enterprises, and constantly stimulate the enthusiasm of workers, improve the quality of workers, the establishment of the market economy to adapt to the competent and efficient operation mechanism, but also to reduce the cost of an important part. Enterprises should take the deepening of reform as an important work to reduce costs and increase efficiency. First of all, to reform the personnel system, break the boundaries of cadres and workers, reflecting the "willing to do, able to do, do well" principle of employment, the implementation of recruitment and appointment system combined personnel system, optimize the labor mix, competition for the job, the survival of the fittest to achieve the "capable, mediocrity, the poor under the next "so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of cadres and workers, improve labor productivity, enhance the sense of responsibility and sense of crisis of the cadres and workers, and mobilize all cadres and workers to devote themselves to the work of cost reduction and efficiency. Secondly, on the basis of scientific determination of the amount of labor necessary to ensure the optimal cost target, the labor organization should be improved accordingly, the labor force should be approved, the internal distribution system should be reformed, and the consumption caused by excessive unproductive personnel and nesting, slacking off, and insufficient labor should be reduced. Each enterprise can be based on the nature of the work of each section, workshop, process complexity, labor intensity, working environment and other factors, respectively, to take the appropriate form of distribution, so that to the hard, dirty, tired, dangerous and highly skilled positions tilt, and thus stimulate the enthusiasm of the staff to work, increase the effective labor time, reduce the unit of labor consumption of the product and the cost of wages, according to the needs of production and management of the entity, the functions of the section to streamline The company's business is to streamline and merge the functional departments according to the needs of the production and operation entities, and to equip the management personnel in accordance with the principle of leanness and high efficiency, so as to change the situation of the people floating over the work, and to achieve the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency.
4, rely on excellent quality to reduce costs
The quality of the product and the cost of the product has a very close relationship. In the case of exceptionally fierce competition, who has high product quality, who has the competitiveness of the product, the product has a market, will not take up too much money; high product quality, not or less defective, can directly reduce production costs; high product quality, you can according to the principle of high quality and good price, to sell at a higher price, relatively reduce the cost of the proportion of sales revenue; high product quality, you can win more users, direct High product quality, can win more users, directly increase sales, reduce the cost of sales; high product quality, in fact, also saves energy, raw materials; high product quality, you can save labor and management costs, which will undoubtedly reduce costs. Therefore, enterprises should pay great attention to improving product quality, and do everything possible to strictly control product quality.
