 
 Growing companies entering the process of merging, restructuring, or acquiring additional assets from other companies are faced with difficult decisions regarding which facilities contribute the most value to the company. Deciding which facilities warrant further investment and which should be downsized or closed to maximize efficiency and minimize unnecessary overhead costs is a complicated task warranting both extensive and timely research.
In response to these dynamic needs, GLS has developed a Facility Asset Optimization (FAO) model. The unique structure and methodology of the FAO model is designed to assist upper management in the detailed identification, analysis, and reporting of critical business factors for each of their facilities. The FAO model represents a highly visible and logical process of evaluation. The FAO methodology uses a straightforward, quantitative approach, which minimizes bias, improves objectivity, and seeks to gain consensus throughout the company. This process is highly customizable for each client’s specific business needs and requirements, but is based on sound site location theory and knowledge. |
