competitiveness
No matter what sector an organisation operates within, it is constantly seeking ways to improve productivity and reduce costs, thereby increasing revenues.
In essence, the achievement of competitiveness is about cost effectiveness, best-in-class productivity delivered in a manner that is both flexible and responsive to both market trends, and changing/evolving customer needs.
Customer satisfaction and profitability represent the acid test.
Seemingly, everything has changed over recent years, generally requiring more to be done, by fewer resources, in a shorter timescale.
Time reduction, time compression, shorter time to market are the consistent requirements.
