The second objective targets cost reduction in material procurement. This involves sourcing 20% of materials from lower-cost suppliers, without compromising quality. The strategy laid out includes transitioning orders, ensuring material quality through tests, and identifying potential low-cost yet high-quality suppliers.
The third objective focuses on labor cost reduction through process automation. It involves identifying three operations processes that are suitable for automation. Steps to actualize this include researching and selecting the appropriate automation software, and training staff on how to use the new automation tools.
