Profitability & Modeling Optimization

How to Optimize Sales Mix to Maximize Profitability

Focusing solely on COGS reduction assumes lower production costs lead to higher profitability, but this overlooks market competition, customer demand, and product complexity. Standard costing methods often obscure true profitability by averaging costs, leading to suboptimal decisions. To drive sustainable profit improvement, companies must take a holistic approach—considering product mix, customer segmentation, market shifts, and operational constraints. Optimizing the entire value chain, rather than just cutting costs, ensures long-term value creation and agility in a dynamic market.
