Scheduled Meetings
SCHEDULED MEETINGS

 

The cost group convenes for three 3-day meetings a year. Each meeting takes place in a member's city where we tour and critique their plant, plus offer observations. During the meeting days, each member delivers a brief presentation on the state of affairs of his/her business.  We also exchange ideas, compare sales and production reports, make recommendations, and learn how to satisfy our mission statement.

FISCAL ANALYSIS

 

Offered to members to determine cost savings and profit margins. TAG compiles and generates monthly and year-to-date comparison financial statements across all member businesses.  Through analysis and discussion around these documents, companies can focus on achieving labor, supply and utility cost savings, and detect profit margin problems early to eradicate possible issues.

Fiscal Analysis

Members engage in a rigorous analysis of one another's businesses. The interchange of valuable information and collegiality among group members inspires and leads to improved performance.
