COST REDUCTION WITH THE HELP OF “POWERPACK” PROGRAM

Zaradi trenutne gospodarske situacije se je poslovanje nekoliko spremenilo. Ni več samoumevno, da podjetja enostavno dobro poslujejo, ne gledajo preveč v prihodnost in ob tem ustvarjajo visoke dobičke. Globalizacija sveta in s tem dejstvo, da lahko nek izdelek naročimo praktično kjerkoli (velika konkurenca), zmanjšanje potrošnje in negotova prihodnost so podjetja prisilila v drugačno razmišljanje. Naenkrat je postalo zelo pomembno, da so podjetja izdelala odličen izdelek po kar se da nizki ceni, vsi procesi so morali postati kar se da stroškovno učinkoviti, oglaševanje pa je moralo jasno pokazati prednosti predstavljanega podjetja v primerjavi z drugimi. Magistrska naloga, ki jo berete, predstavlja, kako se je z zmanjševanjem stroškov spoprijelo podjetje MiVal d. o. o. V začetnem delu je predstavljeno teoretično ozadje stroškov, naloga se nadaljuje s predstavitvijo metod za obvladovanje stroškov, ki jih je omenjeno podjetje uporabljalo ali pa jih še uporablja, naloga se nato zaključi s predstavitvijo orodja oziroma programa za zmanjševanje stroškov PowerPack in predstavitvijo dejanskih primerov zmanjšanj stroškov v podjetju, ki so bili doseženi s pomočjo omenjenega programa.Because of the current economic situation, business making has changed.
