How to know if a Consultation is worth it for you?
The idea of paying a Consultancy for a core competence is not easy, since all companies assume that they have people with the right combination of skills and knowledge to carry out activities that are both productive and innovative.
Sometimes the answer is very obvious like having a big problem that cannot be ignored as it creates unacceptable losses and cannot be made to disappear by conventional means such as going back to the previous conditions when there was no problem or lowering prices as compensation for troubled customers. In this case, the costs of having such a problem are both direct (loss of production/sales) and indirect (actions to mitigate losses), which can reach millions of dollars per year if the loss of customer trust and loyalty is included.
In other cases, hidden costs are present and not easy to notice. An example of this is Plant Efficiency, which is defined as the amount of spec-compliant PVC production divided by the amount of VCM consumed during production. The efficiency for well-designed and well-controlled PVC plants is above 99.7%, so any lower value means a loss of 100 t/yr for every 0.1% decrease for each 100,000 t/yr production. Therefore, a PVC plant operating at 99.0% is having losses equivalent to the production of 700 tons of on-spec PVC per year.
The choice is yours: continue your current situation or invest a fraction to improve it?
