Subject: Cost-cutting Measures
As requested during the Board Meeting of February 25th, I have prepared my report, the summary of which you can find below. For more detailed information, you are welcome to access the full report in the attached pdf.
Introduction
provided in early March by all of the relevant departments, the is to suggest ways of reducing costs across the company. I have into three sections: Background, Findings, and Recommendations.Background
As in Table 1.1 of the attached pdf, demand for our vegan burgers has been falling dramatically for the last year, and both sales and profits are down. This has in which cost-cutting measures are necessary.Findings
There are three main areas where cost reductions are possible.
• Marketing Budget
As mentioned , sales are suffering, but we are still spending unjustifiably large sums on banner ads and billboards.• Production Costs
Table 2 of the report raw material costs have risen significantly in recent months. We must find a way to combat this.• Administration
We may, unfortunately, have to make the very unpopular decision of dismissing several administrative staff. of the full report for suggestions on how to proceed with our current administrative overstaffing.Recommendations
In conclusion, most departments should be able to cut costs significantly by the end of this year. My specific recommendations are :
1. Marketing Department: in the advertising budget of 20%2. Production Department: of using different suppliers to reduce material costs.
3. Head Office: for cutting a limited number of jobs if the situation continues to deteriorate.
Please have a look at the full report and your comments by April 15th at the latest. Your comments will then be circulated to all of the Heads of Departments in time for the May 2nd meeting.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all.
Kind regards,
