Applications
Our society is becoming more and more of a brainworker and the question of the productivity of brainwork is therefore also coming into focus. Functional analysis, also known as overhead analysis, is a powerful tool for increasing productivity and reducing overheads. This tool has a distinctly bad reputation. If you decide to use it anyway, certain conditions must be met to ensure that toxic side effects are largely avoided. Overheads should be reduced without any loss of benefit for the customer or the recipients of services. Preparations must be made to analyze the initial situation. You should also have a comprehensive catalog of ideas for identifying potential savings and suggestions for their realization. This software tool supports you with a practical example in documenting detailed and meaningful measures for cost optimization.
