Why Consolidation?

There are many reasons to consider consolidating facilities. Perhaps you’ve made an acquisition, and the new plants represent excess capacity or overlap with your existing facilities. Maybe you need access to valuable markets and suppliers, or you’re considering an area with lower manufacturing costs or a more favorable labor environment. Whatever the reason, there are many economic considerations to take into account, including:

• Facility investment
• Relocation
• One-time inventory reduction
• Proceeds from the sale of real estate or plant equipment
• Material and inventory-carrying costs
• Contribution on incremental sales
• Plant closing and start-up
• Factory and administrative labor
• Logistics and occupancy costs
