Operational Cost Audit
Focused examination of production, logistics, or branch-level operating expenses when one part of the business drags overall margin.
Who this is for
Companies that know overall margins are acceptable but one warehouse, production line, branch, or service line consistently underperforms. Owners need a disciplined look at that unit’s cost drivers before restructuring, closing, or reinvesting.
What you receive
- Unit-level expense breakdown compared to revenue contribution
- Identification of controllable vs. structural cost differences versus other units
- Benchmark notes where comparable internal units exist (not generic industry databases)
- Short recommendation memo with three to five actionable items
Included
One primary site visit, analysis of unit-specific data for six trailing months, and interviews with unit manager and finance contact.
Excluded
Full-company cost structure review (see Cost Structure Review), capital expenditure appraisal, and HR restructuring planning.
