We see the profitability analysis as integrated. The main points of consideration are:

• Comparison of existing factory locations
  • Product assignment (where a product is most suitably placed )
  • Product development costs
• Concept comparison
  • Use of space
• Existing buildings, running operations, building concept
  • Energy budget- Electricity, heat, cooling
  • Use of space
  • Cost-use analysis of logistics systems
  • Material flow investigation
  • Economical observation of production systems
    and equipment
  • Disposal (turnings, water, ...)
  • Services (safety, cleaning, catering, ....)
  • Profitability of link-ups (plant- plant relationship)
  • Profitability of in-house relationships
