Is your
office running like a top?
"THAT'S THE
WAY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE THAT!"
Over the years many procedures get implemented
or adopted. Then one day the light bulb in your head goes on and
you ask yourself, "Why do we do this in this manner?" or "There has to
be an easier or more efficient way of doing this?" And then you
get the ANSWER ABOVE.
In a time where margins are tighter, funeral firms must look at all
influences that affect the bottom line. One area where savings
can be realized is in the area of operational efficiencies. There
could be many areas that could use a little tweaking or
fine tuning. Although individually they don't amount to much,
collectively you could add thousands to your bottom line.
Areas that
could be analyzed are:
- Staffing (both numbers of staff and use
of staff)
- Data duplication - how many times do you
record or enter important information?
- Operational expenses audit - are you on
the best plans for telecommunications, insurance (property, auto,
group, etc.)
- Operational systems audit - how many
times is a task performed, and by how many people?
- Some funeral homes face new regulations
that will demand of them
more reporting and overall paperwork - there could be simple systems
implemented to alleviate these burdens and realize greater efficiencies
There has to be a
Better Way?
So if you have ever thought to
yourself (or even out loud), "There has to be a better way!?!?"
Don't worry, there probably is. Just call 1.800.810.3595
