Assess “what if” and other unique business and operational scenarios to justify and model potential courses of action.
With a Pro Forma case, you’ll follow Solomon’s standard performance benchmarking process with regard to input data forms and instructions. What you’ll receive is a full set of standard electronic study deliverables for benchmarking the performance of your Pro Forma case, including an in-depth gap analysis.*
Pro Forma cases may be developed to assess how changes would affect an entire facility, or they may be limited to examining only certain major categories of performance (e.g., gross margin, energy, maintenance/reliability, staffing, etc.).
* For more in-depth analysis, Pro Forma cases can be integrated within Solomon’s Deep Drill-Down (3D) service.
** Pro Forma cases related to future capital investment are best integrated within Solomon’s Q1 Day 1™ product, which helps secure an investment’s return by ensuring that competitive targets and best practices are integrated into the project before the build is executed.
Learn how changes will affect an entire facility or certain areas of performance.
