With large external factors, beyond the control of organizations, organizations now need to focus on controlling internal costs that include manufacturing costs, quality costs etc. Typically 80% of the manufacturing cost of a product is determined once the design is finalized. Needless to say, marginal reduction in product cost has a direct and huge impact on the organizations profitability.
