Abstract
Cost reduction is a key objective in industrial engineering, particularly as businesses seek to optimize their operations, enhance efficiency, and maintain competitive advantage. This paper analyzes various cost reduction strategies in industrial engineering, focusing on lean manufacturing, process optimization, and energy efficiency. We explore the effectiveness of different techniques such as waste reduction, automation, and the implementation of advanced technologies like predictive maintenance and Industry 4.0 solutions. The paper also discusses the challenges industries face in adopting these strategies and provides insights into successful case studies from different sectors. Ultimately, this analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of how cost reduction strategies can be applied effectively in industrial settings to achieve long-term sustainability and profitability.
