What is cost advantage?

A cost advantage is the competitive edge, or advantage, gained due to lowering a products or service’s price point through economies of scale or other cost-reduction approaches.

Traditional approaches to cost reduction are predominantly reactive and focus on “top slicing” across the organization, which implies taking a part of the budget and allocating it to a specific project.
