施乐砍掉成本浪费:当施乐面临巨大的现金压力时,有人建议裁减研发部门,但一家没有研发的公司很难拥有持久的生命力。所以施乐的大部分成本节约都是通过减少浪费来实现的。很多员工主动提出了成千上万条节约成本的建议,公司停止了提供免费咖啡,也不再专门雇人为植物浇水还停止了免费食物。这一切简直让人难以置信,施乐的采购成本减少了5亿美元,还有后勤部门、系统运营成本等等。

Xerox Cut Costs Waste: While Xerox is facing significant cash pressure, it has been suggested that the R & D department be cut, but it is hard for a company that has not been able to develop it to have enduring vitality. So Xerox’s most cost savings are achieved by reducing waste. Many employees volunteered to offer thousands of cost-saving tips. The company stopped offering free coffee and no longer specifically hired plants and stopped free food. All this simply incredible, Xerox purchasing costs reduced by 500 million US dollars, as well as the logistics department, the system operating costs and so on.
