1. How do you value your organization that has never turned a profit, is prohibited from designing real products and has no experience competing for customers?
   
   

2. What is the impact where manufacturing is involved in the design process during the concept stage, rather than once the drawings have been completed?

4. What is the approach to cost focused value engineering and innovation within the procurement stage to maximise benefits while minimising cost?
   
   

5. How much is your organization willing to pay for shorter and more reliable supply delays of materials it uses in its manufacturing processes?
   
   

6. Do you foresee particular product manufacturing, supply chain management or cost of goods issues that could impact stewardship and access?
   
   

7. How can finance calculate the cost of goods and your profitability without supply chain managing supplier and manufacturing costs?
   
   

8. What is the approach to value engineering and innovation within the design development to maximise benefits while minimising cost?
   
   

9. What is the cost of obtaining the support for a message, given alternative clinical research partners and manufacturing partners?
   
   

10. Do various combinations of inventory reduction policy and management accounting method have an influence on reported net profit?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Manufacturing Cost investments work better.

This Manufacturing Cost All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
