Reducing Operation Costs
Your company has decided to reduce the budget of your department. You have been asked to find out how to reduce daily operation costs. Discuss the situation together, and decide:
- what problems your department has in cost control
- how you can solve these problems.
选项
答案
A: Due to the economic recession, our budget of this fiscal year has been cut by 30%, so we really need to find out how to manage to live with this. B: You are right, it’s really a tight budget, and we’d better find solutions to it. A: We may begin by reducing operation costs. Can you tell me some problems we have in cost control? B: Sure. First of all, I think the energy waste problem is very serious in our department: our electricity fees are much higher than other departments. And we also spend lots of money on conferences, especially those abroad. The conference costs account for a large part of our total costs. A: Well. That’s quite right. Any other problems? B: Managers are inclined to choose luxury hotels when they are on business trip. They only consider those at least with four stars. A: That is also a breaking point to reduce our cost, but first we will have to persuade them. B: I’m sure they’ll understand. So we’ll first encourage energy saving, like keeping the air conditioner’s temperature at 26℃. Then we should try more TV and telephone conferences, they are much more convenient and less costly. Finally we can advocate express hotels for business trip if possible. A: That is the point. As long as we pay enough attention to all the details and take actions, we can survive in this gloomy environment.
