Optimising a pricing strategy is essential for keeping customers in the field of manufacturing, and thus maintaining a steady growth. Selling a product for more than its production cost may sound simple in theory, yet choosing the right markup that keeps your customers satisfied is a very delicate process.
Price optimisation is the process of finding the right price level for maximising your sales and increasing your market share. If prices are too high, volume might be too low. On the other hand, if your prices are too low, the unit sales volumes might be higher, but costs increase and profitability suffers.

Within an organisation, much of the knowledge and expertise is concentrated within a few key managers. If they were to leave, this knowledge may be lost, and the organisation might suffer. For steady business continuation, knowledge assurance is paramount.
