¿Cómo se puede mejorar el rendimiento financiero del programa sin comprometer la calidad?

1. Know your quality requirements. Some requirements regulatory and others are volitional. 2. Secondly, understand the cost of quality to your enterprise; then, 3. Most importantly, understand the cost of non-quality. What is the cost of a quality non-conformance? Lost time, lost machinery processing, lost materials, loss in scheduling, loss of revenue, cost of documentation, analysis and disposition of the non-conformance, corrective action, etc. But, most important, loss of customer trust, and potential significant loses to customer operations; the invisible and hard to quantify killers. 4. Quality improvements can be introduced via design leaning, systemic industrialization, automation, and use of Robots as a Service (RaaS).

The first step is to access the program baseline so that you can understand where you need to optimize costs without hindering the quality. For this you can: 1) Break down costs into categories such as direct costs (e.g., materials, labor) and indirect costs (e.g., overhead, administrative expenses). 2) Then, categorize costs as fixed (unchanging) or variable (changing with the scale of the project). 3) Lastly, collect detailed data on expenditures, including invoices, receipts, and financial records. While doing so ensure data accuracy and completeness, capturing all relevant costs.

To improve program financials while upholding quality, start by understanding your current situation. Review the approved plan covering scope, schedule, and budget, identifying any deviations or risks. Monitor actual expenditures against the baseline, reporting variations for transparent financial management.

Enhance financial performance by optimizing the program budget. Allocate resources wisely, prioritize spending, and eliminate unnecessary costs using value analysis and cost-benefit analysis. Earned value management aids in tracking progress and identifying budget variances or trends.

Implement efficiency measures to enhance productivity without compromising quality. This may include process automation, resource allocation optimization, and eliminating redundant tasks. You can also proactively identify and manage risks that could impact the program's financial performance. Addressing potential issues early can prevent costly setbacks and maintain quality standards.

Actively cut program costs by minimizing waste and inefficiency. Employ strategies like negotiation for favorable terms, procurement for judicious acquisitions, and quality management to prevent defects, ensuring efficient resource utilization.

Boost financials by maximizing existing benefits and creating value. Tactics such as innovation, marketing, and optimization contribute to revenue growth by improving products, communicating value, and increasing program efficiency.
