Richard C. H. Wong is a career cost reduction professional and worked for a number of large corporations in the financial, telecommunications and manufacturing sectors in charge of cost reduction programmes.

With a deep understanding of how resistance can affect changes, he is a guru in cost reduction and his team have good successful track record in trimming costs for many organisations, including reducing the set-up cost of the first Asian automatic cash logistic warehouse by 20%, improving the usage or occupancy of a very expensive office building by 50%, greatly reducing the print bills of a large financial institution through the introduction of print management systems and the effective control of a commercially operated profitable print subsidiary and help many listed companies in the finance, F&B, manufacturing, trading sectors to reduce their overhead expenses.
Introduction
As there are basic costs involved in a cost reduction project, carefully focusing on the unreasonable high cost areas and planning the project scope is critical, and can avoid project loss! A rule of thumb would be: picking 20% of the items that constitute 80% of the total cost, to study, which is also known as the 20/80 rule.
