Project 3 — Cost Structure Optimization for a Regional Distributor
A distribution company with 120 employees recorded recurring operational losses of 18% per month. Goal: identify critical pain points and propose a short- and medium-term economic stabilization plan.
Complete operational audit across 3 key departments: procurement, logistics, and sales. Financial flows, supplier contracts, and overhead cost structure were analyzed. The painzen methodology for commercial risk management was applied.
5 corrective measures were implemented: renegotiation of contracts with 3 major suppliers, partial automation of inventory management, reduction of overhead costs by 22%, an internal loss reduction course, and a weekly risk reporting system.
After 4 months, operational losses dropped to 4%, and the net profit margin increased by 11%. The company achieved economic stability and reduced commercial risk by 60%. The solution was extended to 2 additional subsidiaries.
