How would you determine the location for a new facility? This map provides a clear
picture of the choices and their impact on profit - IF you considered the thousands of location choices and optimized
the millions of operations variations for each location individually.
For
many this is a daunting task. Many consultants couldn't arrive at these numbers. Others might get there, but
the time you'd spend doing it would far offset the substantial gains it shows. However, this is an actual optimization
and it was done in just a couple of days. The results speak for themselves.
Surprisingly,
being just a few miles down the road can easily cost you $20,000/month in profit. (the difference between small circles and
large ones) This savings pays for the consulting time in the very first month. Not many investments pay off that
big or that soon.
The power is in the detail of the evaluation:
- It considered EVERY zipcode - and optimizied them individually. (ie. one zipcode's operating radius to
maximize profit might be 40 miles, while another is 140 miles - depending on many factors.)
- It
considers the rents, salaries, and pre-existing infastructure that is present in each zipcode.
The result is a VERY high ROI with a VERY short payback. So, why guess - even worse, why pay someone big money
to guess? BOSS can optimize it for about the same money as the guess. Whether you are looking to optimize,
or just find the REAL cause of an issue - getting it right matters!
