Expense of cost reduction

Question
Are there expenses to implementing a cost reduction/profit improvement program? 
Answer
Not as long as you include the operating, leadership, communication and other elements of a good program. A cost reduction/profit improvement program can be implemented internally by your own people, with a little planning and training.

One expense you might incur is if you employ a profit improvement consultant. This type of professional can greatly accelerate the implementation and maximize the payoff. But you must evaluate that expense against the potential savings and improvements.
