Healthy Bottom Line Through Management of Resources
When companies mention their bottom line, they are referring to the last line on a balance sheet, which is the total amount of money that remains after all of company's expenses and dividends are deducted. Managing company resources is a way for companies to improve their bottom line.

Effects
-
A company's bottom line is influenced and impacted by many variables. Businesses that have a lot of overhead lose their maximum revenue potential. Accordingly, they may not meet their bottom line, or financial goals.
Potential
-
Trimming excess resources is a solution for businesses that want to save more and spend less. This philosophy is known as lean management. A lean organization is one that operates with the bare essentials to make the most of their bottom lines.

Identification
-
Resource management begins by identifying what the company can do without and cutting those expenses out of the financial equation. Managers must monitor resources by looking at what the company currently has, what the company needs and being sure to not purchase resources unnecessarily.
Considerations
-
A company's workforce is another type of resource. Managers must ensure that their staff are productive. An unproductive workforce costs companies money in the value of time and wages, which takes away from the bottom line.
