The organization cost structure would be Cost-Driven. Which means that we are focused on
keeping costs or expenses down. More automation or outsourcing would be done to keep internal
costs low, resulting in competitive pricing. The core of our model is to operate with excellence.
Since our margins are small, we have to rely on economies of scale and scope to achieve
satisfactory returns. The economies of scale will help in cost-saving as we would purchase large
volume which will give discounts, resulting in lower costs per unit. Economies of scope will help
in cost savings by reaching the market leadership in our product line and will expand into other
consumables.
To acquire a comprehension of what our cost structure would be, we made an expense model.
For this, our team have shaped a spreadsheet comprising of evaluations for every cost that could
incur:

Machinery and Equipment Piece rate wages
