Cost avoidance is not the same as cost reduction:

• Cost avoidance is more sustainable than cost reduction
• Cost avoidance is more powerful than cost reduction
• Cost avoidance is more transparent than cost reduction
• Cost avoidance is healthier than cost reduction and
• Cost avoidance is more popular than cost reduction.

For over 15 years we have been helping organisations with cost avoidance

In many organizations there is re-work, double work, unnecessary activities, re-calls, scrap etc. (so called "corrective actions"). Most of them view these as "normal" activities that simply happen in the course of product development and research. They are also not aware that the costs incurred make up a large proportion of the total cost.

The R² Initiative forces on reducing corrective action. As a result parts of the costs for material and external services will be avoided (e. g. less scrap, less retrofit, ...). This will (1.) increase business profits, (2.) give more room for innovations and therefore (3.) positively impact market shares and revenues – the business enterprise will become more efficient and more stable (see illustration).
