Compare the supply of your product with the market's demand. If you have lots of items sitting in warehouses, then you need to consider downsizing production or increasing your marketing budget to help sell more products. Look at other companies working in your industry to see if they are also suffering from low sales.

Examine your staff and see if you are retaining too many employees or not enough. The optimal number of workers in each department depends on many variables and budgets, so be sure to get the advice of each department manager before you consider hiring or laying off workers.
· 3

Seek out inefficiencies in your production process. For example, if you're making chemicals or food products, see if it would be possible to move from batch production to a steady-state procedure and make items around the clock. Large adjustments like this one require time and money to implement and you'll have to evaluate the benefits of changing to see if it is financially feasible.

Review your customer service department to see if you're losing clients due to poor service. Check to see how the reputation of your company can be improved to increase consumer and investor confidence.
· 5

Improve the maintenance of your facilities to decrease the cost of equipment repairs and replacement. Study how the work environment affects your workers' health to see if you face potential high losses due to health insurance coverage. Check the environmental impact of your work to see if you're paying unnecessary fines and creating conflicts with activist groups.
· 6

Probe your supply chain to see if you can improve business operations by switching to cheaper raw materials. Check to be sure that the quality of the final product won't be compromised by the change in components.

I have to agree with this point because by examining or by monitoring your employees performance is very important to ensure that they are doing their jobs properly but having the quantity of staffs doesn't really ensure that they will be able to meet the goal.

Cutback won't always be the answer. In many situations, individual departments are either overworked or lacking the skills to carry out their work effectively. Ridding yourself of staff will often make the situation worse. It's like using a hammer on a broken water pipe to create a new leak at the start of the line when there's already an existing leak at the end of it.

The key word here is efficiency. Will your business become more efficient by getting rid of employees or will it only serve to make things worse? Tread carefully and evaluate before taking action.

Majority of Businesses in both Australia and abroad do not have sufficient Policy and Operations Manuals in place.

Having an indepth and quality document in place regarding inhouse operations, policies and procedures is crucial for the success and growth of any business.

It will assist in the training of new staff, and become the perfect reference point for any staff member with an operational query.
Such as, how to use the cash register, am I entitled for sick days? etc...
