Consolidate Operations

For Productivity

 

Merge or consolidate to concentrate resources for successful operations;

economies of scale can minimize cost in any economy, especially this one.

 

But don't overlook facilities and operations, where all the plans and expectations must come together or the new entity won't function.

JPR has accomplished many facility mergers, we'll be glad to help.

First plan, and later integrate, equipment, processes, and facilities properly because they affect not only the balance sheet but also the P&L. Often there are several interdependent factors such as:

1. HR issues
2. Integrate operations of functions involved
3. Integrate electronic and manual systems
4. Inventory and product delivery plan during transition
5. Customer and vendor relationships
6. Day to day operation
7. Plan for the relocation
8. Prepare the destination facility
9. Complete the relocation itself
10. Start up the relocated functions

Consolidation is effective not only for industry but also situations where the output is paper, or ideas, or customer service, or container loads. It works well in military Base Realignment and Closure. Most mergers and consolidations involve the same factors; work, organizations, missions, material, output, constraints, manning, task management, equipment, schedules, and progress reporting.
