                       that when properly changed, often result in substantial cost reduction.


               Principles of Future Characteristics


                                                                                  “The past performance of an
                                                                           organization or unit tends to
                                                                           foreshadow its future characteristics”.


                                                                                  “The value here is to use past
                                                                           cost information as a guide to
                                                                           professional management action that
                                                                           will prevent history from repeating
                                                                           itself.”




               Example:


                   •    Past history of costs on machines or equipment, production maintenance, downtime and related
                       damages are all used as a base line for many types of comparisons.

               Principles of Application

                       “The more often a manager communicates a message, the more certain he can be that is
               understood and will be retained”.

                       “Accidents and other undesired events have an enormous effect upon an organization’s profit, or

               the attainment of its established budget.”

               Example:

                   •   Circulate select articles on related costs from external
                       publications to key members of management.

                   •   Circulate select photographs of specific accidents involving
                       property damage, with a brief explanation of estimated costs.

                   •   Circulate reports of individual large courts awards or
                       settlements involved with familiar circumstances.
