Savings decay
The gradual loss of savings after an optimization effort, as resources are re-created, schedules are removed, sizes creep back up or commitments lapse. It is the usual result of fixing costs once without an ongoing process. Why it matters: Savings that are not protected by routine checks tend to disappear within months.
