Comprehensive feasibility studies & expert due diligence services

In this day and age of fierce competition and tighter budgets, food manufacturers are often faced with making critical—and expensive—business decisions as part of their strategic plan. Should you refurbish existing equipment or buy new equipment to meet your manufacturing needs? Should you add product lines to increase market share and what impact would that have on current operations?

Stellar has the resources and deep expertise to conduct a wide range of feasibility studies for plants, including the experience to conduct a full plant capacity analysis; optimal layout and process flows; utility consumption/availability studies; and engineering, safety and ergonomic studies.

All of this information will assist plant owners in making the following more informed decisions.

  • Expanding versus renovating a plant to increase production and improve operational efficiencies
  • Ingredient and/or recipe changes that may affect existing operations
  • The effect of adding new product lines on existing processing operations
  • Moving lines both intra-plant and inter-plant
  • Using a conventional warehouse versus an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS)
    • Facility optimization
    • Achieving LEED certification
    • Manufacturing methodology and cost-effective use of existing assets.

From the beginning, we maintain total transparency and communication to ensure our clients’ expectations and objectives are met.

Using cost, time and ROI as benchmarks we:

  • Clearly state the objectives
  • Gather the data
  • Analyze the information
  • Provide detailed findings
  • Make recommendations
