Cost
Reduction and Productivity Improvement
|
At Beacon Consulting
Associates, we assist clients to reduce costs and improve the productivity
and efficiency of their business.
A Cost Reduction
and Productivity Improvement engagement begins with a thorough review
of the business or specific area within the business. Our review
can involve all areas of the business, including manufacturing operations,
service operations, administrative, clerical and accounting functions,
and sales and marketing efforts. Our review typically takes from
one to two weeks and our findings and recommendations are presented
both orally and in writing. Our recommendations are specific and
achievable. We include estimated time frames and required investment,
if any, to achieve the recommended cost savings and productivity
improvements.
After our recommendations
are accepted by management, we will implement those recommendations
and deliver the cost reductions and productivity improvements. We
are hands-on. We design and develop new processes and procedures,
train client personnel, and stay with the effort until the results
are achieved.
We bring years
of business experience in a variety of businesses and markets, critical
analysis and an objective point-of-view to assist our clients in
improving the profitability of their business.

Beacon Consulting
Associates has assisted many businesses to reduce costs and
improve their productivity. Our clients have included manufacturing
companies, chemical companies, distribution businesses, high-tech
companies, and many others.
Our first
consultation is at no charge. If we are selected to assist you
in your efforts to reduce costs and improve productivity, we begin
with a planning meeting at which we determine your areas of concern
and your objectives. We then prepare a realistic time plan to complete
our initial review and report back to you with our findings and
recommendations. After you have accepted our recommendations, we
then implement and achieve the cost reductions and productivity
improvements.
We work to
your budget. Frequently, we can hold the costs within a budget
by having client personnel assist with analyses and other related
data gathering. We charge by the hour. Our hourly rates are reasonable
and we are flexible in tailoring the engagement to meet your cash
limitations. We will provide references upon request. Since our
founding in 1986, Beacon Consulting Associates has dedicated itself
to serving the small-to-medium size business community by providing
a broad range of consulting, financial and accounting services……Cost
