- Logistics costs could be lowered by consolidating two distribution facilities and moving to a new location.
- Certain mission critical special purpose assets should be owned, all other assets should be leased
- New workplace strategies could lower costs and enhance productivity
- Labor intensive functions should be moved to low cost labor environments
- Leases in weak markets should be extended
- New technology could improve real estate decision making
- Certain functions should be outsourced
Well planned development and execution of these business solutions can have major implications for an organization’s bottom line and balance sheet.
