ABSTRACT
This research work centers on the
impact of cost reduction scheme on the profitability of manufacturing firm.it
involves investigating the various strategies by which cost could be reduced
and the problems affecting the effectiveness of such strategies. Various

are value analysis, work study, organization and method, quality circle,
just-intime etc. the manufacturing firm used for this research work is port-Harcourt

fifty nine questionnaire were distributed and forty (40) were returned duly
filled and completed the hypothesis were analyzed using the simple regression

made recommendation, one of which is seminar, symposia, and work shop should be
held for management personnel in order to enable the company update its
