This whitepaper explains how manufacturing companies can recognize and address four types of complexity in order to improve G&A efficiency and effectiveness. By addressing the structural drivers of complexity both within the organization generally and within G&A specifically, companies can reduce G&A costs by 15-20% as well as improve service delivery, quality, and customer satisfaction.
