OKR template to achieve significant cost reduction in metal fabrication
The OKR aimed to substantially minimize cost in metal fabrication via several objective-led initiatives within a defined timeline. At first, it targets to locate and instigate at least three cost-friendly manufacturing methods by the term end.
One prime initiative focuses on identifying potential frugal manufacturing strategies, followed by their orchestration and consistent scrutiny. Eventually, it proposes to cherry-pick the top three most feasible procedures for their enforcement.
Another goal is to rationalize the procurement costs for raw materials by a significant 15%. Initiatives under this objective entailed devising an extensive negotiation policy bearing cost-cutting aims, researching competitive cost suppliers for the necessary raw materials and initiating contract discussions with chosen suppliers.
Lastly, the OKR converges on decreasing waste material in fabrication by 20% as a measure to economize. To meet this objective, initiatives include a review and optimization of manufacturing procedures to curtail waste, investment in waste-cutting technology or apparatus, and the provision of efficiency training concerning material to the fabrication crew.
