Profit is the ultimate KPI — but how do you know if every process truly contributes to it?

One simple, powerful tool I recommend is the Process Cost Analysis (PCA) or Cost-to-Serve approach.

Here’s how it works:

Map your process from start to finish.
Identify every cost driver (time, materials, labor, rework, delays).
Quantify each activity’s contribution to revenue or customer value.

Then ask one key question:

“Does this step add measurable value or just cost?”

You’ll be surprised how many steps consume resources but add no profit.

If a process consistently loses money, it doesn’t matter how efficient, fast, or creative it looks — it does not work.

Start tracking profit per process, not just productivity per hour.

About Me

With more than a decade of experience across multiple industries and organizational structures, I understand how businesses truly operate — not just on paper, but in reality.

I hold an MSc in Industrial Engineering (Systems Management & Productivity), and I combine that systems-level thinking with PMP-certified project management discipline and deep operational analysis.

I don’t look at isolated problems. I analyze the structure of your organization — how information flows, how decisions are made, where capacity is lost, and where bottlenecks are embedded.

I study your workflows, validate the integrity of your operational data, and translate complexity into clear executive dashboards so leadership can act based on facts — not assumptions.

My approach is structured, analytical, and results-driven — built to create measurable performance, not temporary fixes.

If you’re ready to move from firefighting to clarity and control, let’s define your biggest constraint.
