Supporting The Top Line

For instance, an in-plant manager may wish to validate the addition of a new multi-color press or the introduction of digital equipment. A vice president of facilities, on the other hand, may wish to evaluate whether the organization would be better off outsourcing the in-plant's duties.

Regardless of the purpose of the evaluation, I have established a set of processes and tools to establish a baseline for decision making. Understanding how an in-plant may be evaluated will help managers set performance measures and provide better value-added services.
