CEI™ has worked with many clients in the food processing industry to provide Master Planning. This generally is used as the coordination and basis for things such as establishing a strategic planning tool for the growth of multi-facility or single factory companies, identifying untapped growth opportunities within existing facilities, defining rough operational and capital requirements to meet long term objectives, and evaluating sensitivity of sales forecasts to operational capabilities.

Our clients have successfully used this kind of Master Plan to carefully orchestrate capital planning and yearly budgets to achieve aggressive annual growth of their business. By establishing the needs for the next 5 to 10 years, the Master Plan becomes a road map for spending and expected returns that can be integrated into the highest levels of business management.
