Reducing **OpEx (Operational Expenditure)** is every manager's goal, but blind cutting ("cut 10% of everything") usually harms operations. Intelligent reduction focuses on eliminating waste: slow manual processes, late fees, emergency purchases, and unused software subscriptions.

### **Where money leaks**

- **Overtime:** Inefficient manual processes force the team to stay late.
- **Fines:** Missing payment deadlines or license renewals.
- **Decentralized Purchasing:** Buying piecemeal is more expensive than bulk buying with contracts.
