Preparing now for an upcoming CBA will leave
your company better prepared for an eventual bid. And even
if you decide, in the end, that bidding is not for you,
improving processes as if you were preparing for a bid will
help you maximize profitability in a challenging market.
Business
Tune-Up
We highly
recommend that companies prepare well in advance for CMS
bidding by reviewing ALL company processes, decreasing
costs, wherever possible, improving processes to enhance
productivity, and introduce cost saving efficiencies related
to the way they do business. Only then can a company feel
confident in submitting a winning bid that still ensures
profitability.
Our pre-CBA
business tune-up program consists of an intensive,
on-site business overview by experienced consultants,
followed by a detailed report recommending specific actions
to take to minimize costs, maximize productivity and enhance
profitability.
Activity
Based Costing
It is critical
for CBA bidders to understand the specific and complete
costs of providing products they may wish to bid on. We can
help you to determine what your real costs to ensure that
you can submit a bid that will result in the profits you
expected.
