Plant Relocation Feasibility Analysis

The decision to relocate a business is not an easy one. Literally hundreds of variables impact a decision to relocate and managing these variables is the key to success. These variables include the business strategy, financial requirements, customer impact, schedules, project costs, significant risk factors, and how to maintain production requirements during the process.

Having a team experienced with the relocation process can be invaluable during this decision process. Many times a focused comprehensive approach to the relocation process can be the difference between embarking on a slow and painful project and completing a tightly scheduled and successful relocation. One thing you will find about the relocation process is that you cannot plan too much.

The ACCESS Group (TAG) can guide you through this decision process. Through a thorough relocation feasibility analysis, TAG can analyze key factors of the project critical to making sound decisions, identify those areas where comprehensive planning is a must, and identify the key areas of risk and develop a plan for their mitigation. This analysis can include:

• In-depth investigation and analysis using data to quantify and justify the business decisions of the move.
• A comprehensive review of your business atmosphere to identify key elements of risk and mitigation plans to minimize impact.
• Develop Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates for the cost and schedule required for the relocation project.
• Analyze and estimate the improvement potential and changes that can be made when setting up operation in a new facility and/or location.
• Assist in site selection and plant layout decisions, as well as help in identifying incentives available in the area.

TAG’s experience and expertise in addressing these key factors early in the process can give you a peace of mind that all bases are covered and that key factors have been addressed that would go untouched by teams unfamiliar with the relocation process.
