Value Proposition
Every customer has a different need. Strategic Modularity provides services that are customized to uniquely serve each client. The focus is on the front end, where a little spending has the greatest leverage on long term performance and costs. Application of best practices during the concept and design phases provides value to the customer:
The 1-10-100 rule. Correct design errors early in the concept and design phases.
Close the Gap. Establish accurate requirements that reconcile client needs with producer capabilities.
Product Design. The design determines 80% of the operational costs of producing the product.
Apply Modularity. Modular system architecture provides operational and financial advantages.
Reconcile with Standards. Benchmark costs, efficiencies and utilizations against industry norms.

Benefits to the Facility Client
1. The facility is "right sized". Through efficient allocation of space, the client plans for growth while retaining the ability to pay for the facility in the event of a downturn.
2. Create great places to work enhancing employee morale and productivity.
3. Save costs through improved space utilization and reduced transaction costs.
4. Align capital and expenses with company financials.
5. Minimize the disruption to core operations.
6. Create built-in options for expansion and space reduction.
7. Reduce cycle time of facility project through a clear understanding of the process, variables and the necessary decision making.
8. Create a tight facility requisition that management can support and architects/real estate brokers can deliver.

Benefits to the Automation Client
1. Reduce risk. Spending a small amount for the concept reduces total risk exposure. Projects that fail to meet business objectives can be cancelled or redefined.
2. Increase Options. Incorporating modularity into the design improves the long-term utility of large capital investments and product platforms, providing strategic operational benefits such as concurrent design and incremental upgrades.
3. Increase Product Potential. Modular designs provide more flexibility for unknown future product variants. Future variants of modular products can be produced in less time for less money.
4. Reduce Peak Staffing. Actual staffing needs may change after a large project is defined. Avoid hiring by staffing the project with contractors. Hire the key employees after the long-term project is defined and scoped.
5. Manage Complexity. Modular designs help sub-divide large systems into manageable size work tasks that individuals and small teams can handle. Modular designs also facilitate an organized communications matrix, reducing the time spent in meetings and e-mail.
6. Reduce Costs. Right-sized equipment with the appropriate level of automation provide the highest return on invested capital.
7. Reduced Cycle Time. Through the development of clear automation requirements, the procurement process is significantly accelerated.
