With margins shrinking, costs escalating and international trade competition on the rise, manufacturers face important issues. At Darst, Brune & Associates, we work with clients to examine their current costs and find ways to optimize profits—while still producing a high quality product. We focus on helping businesses:
Find efficiencies in the manufacturing process by exploring new methods and making the most of existing ones
Perform cost analysis and comparisons using local and regional data that reflects your own market
Look at per-unit costs and the correlation with fixed costs to maximize profits
Retain key employees with attractive compensation plans
Our financial team will help you see the big picture of your business, then back that up with a detailed analysis where you can reduce costs of insurance, production, materials, labor and general overhead. We’ll review your facility costs, as well, to examine where you may find money-saving opportunities in:
Tax strategies
Capital investment, repairs and maintenance
Real estate value and structure
Depreciation, utilities and property taxes
As well as having extensive experience and understanding of the manufacturing sector, our team of professionals regularly track industry trends and issues. Our continuing education includes training seminars on production credits and other topics that are impacting your company.
