Total annual cost takeout savings and cost avoidance savings on purchased goods and services as a percentage of purchases
This measure calculates the total annual cost takeout savings and cost avoidance savings as a percentage of all materials and services purchased. Cost takeout is defined as paying less for what was already being purchased, calculated as the difference between current and prior year spend for the same or similar recurring purchases. Cost avoidance is reducing future costs (intangible savings) typically achieved through actions such as negotiating lower rates for new goods and services to be purchased. This measure is part of a set of Process Efficiency measures that help companies in obtaining the greatest saving and performance by minimizing waste and optimizing resource consumption.
