English term or phrase: To what extent has cost-cutting during recession reduced your ability to drive s

Hello everybody!

I have some difficulty with the translation of "Drive savings" in this context. It is an interview to the procurement manager (Gerente de compras) of a company. Another example is:

All answers will be welcome!

Thanks a lot!
