上海美国商会苏州中心诚邀您参加将于9月25日（星期四）下午2:00 – 4:00 于苏州园区香格里拉酒店举办的制造业非生产领域的降本增效分享会。

在竞争日益激烈的市场环境下，降本增效已成为企业的重要关注点。在制造行业，直接领域（生产加工活动）的各类降本增效活动已非常成熟且明确，如质量改善、交期缩短、原材料成本降低等。然而，在间接领域（非生产加工活动）开展降本增效活动却往往无从下手，很多部门只能从减少办公用品消耗入手，不仅收效甚微还会给正常工作带来不便。其实，非生产领域有很大的降本增效潜力，若能解决找不到切入点、成果难以量化、缺少工具方法等现实难题，企业将轻松收获额外的可观收益。

本次分享旨在探讨非生产领域降本增效的困难，分享在非生产领域开展降本增效活动的思路、方法和成功经验，助力企业扩展降本增效活动范围。欢迎计划在非生产领域开展降本增效活动的企业相关人员参加，包括但不限于研发、质量管理、供应链、销售支持、采购、财务、人事、行政等部门负责人和企业总经理等。

AmCham Shanghai Suzhou Center cordially invites you to join the Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement in Non-production Areas on September 25 (Thursday), from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Shangri-La Yuanqu Suzhou.

With the market environment getting more competitive, cost reduction and efficiency improvement have become a major focus. In the manufacturing industry, cost reduction activities in the direct areas (production activities) are mature and clearly focused, such as quality improvement, lead time reduction, raw material cost reduction, etc. However, it is often difficult to start in indirect areas (non-production). Many departments choose to participate by reducing office supplies, which not only has little effect but also adds inconvenience. In fact, cost reduction and efficiency improvement have huge potential in the non-production areas. If difficulties such as finding a start point, quantifying the result, and a lack of tools are removed, companies can easily achieve considerable benefits.

This event will discuss the common barriers of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the non-production areas, share the approach, methods, and successful experiences for this topic, and help companies expand the scope of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Corporate leaders planning to carry out cost reduction and efficiency improvement activities in non-production areas are welcome to participate, including but not limited to department heads of R&D, quality, supply chain, sales support, procurement, finance, HR, admin, and the general managers.

*NOTE： The event will be in Chinese, with English subtitles for reference.
