Turunduseesmärgil

Turunduseesmärgil is an Estonian term describing a design or operational strategy focused on reducing costs. In industrial and manufacturing settings, it involves optimizing processes, material choices, or technologies to minimize production expenses while preserving functionality. This approach is widely used in new product development, where simplifying structures, adopting standardized components, or selecting cost-effective materials helps control costs. In supply chain management, it may entail streamlining logistics, reducing waste, or boosting efficiency to lower operational expenditures. The strategy also applies to service industries through automation, resource integration, or process optimization to cut service costs. Advocates emphasize advantages like enhanced competitiveness, higher profit margins, and improved market adaptability. However, challenges include potential quality trade-offs, initial investment needs, or technical limitations that could restrict effectiveness.
