First you should prepare an ARP.. i.e simply see whether the expenses are in normal limits wrt the Sales/ Production etc as the case may be..
Then start off by analyzing the abnormal costs...
try to find all factors that can act as cost drivers... if there is a costing department, try getting data for 2-3 periods and try to come down to lesser possible cost drivers options
An Excel sheet will b of great help..
Cost optimization would mean cutting out the unnecessary expenses.. just keep an eye on the number of breakdowns... their intervals... the standard data on the same.. etc... you get to know where to go.. once you have started in the right direction....
