Is your company having a nightmare with inflation? Have you seen significant increases in the cost of energy, materials, labour or logistics?
If these things keep you awake at night, you’re not alone. An increasing proportion of Freshminds clients cite cost inflation as the single greatest short-to-medium-term challenge for their business.
What we’ll cover:
Inflationary pressures, such as materials, energy, labour and logistics
An introduction to should-cost modelling
How to build a should-cost model
Finding and delivering value
Examples and stories of typical successes
8-15% increases from suppliers seem to be the norm, and worryingly, we’ve heard stories of up to 100%. Inflation is real, and a degree of increase is justified.
However, the first question to ask is: “what is a “fair” degree?”
And secondly: “how can we mitigate as much of this increase as possible?"
One of the teams who can play a game-changing role is procurement. After all, the cost of the goods, materials or services probably makes up the lion’s share of the final price.
