S4A2204+ – Key Strategic Decisions: Template for Analyzing Capacity Expansion

File includes 2 templates. There are 6 Key Strategic Decisions, this is the fourth one.  The Key Strategic decisions are among the biggest decisions you can make to really move the needle for your company. The main form has 3 parts for evaluating Capacity Expansion:  the first form has some deep questions to make you look deep and hard at current capacity (are you sure it isn’t enough?) and determining its actual capacity, establishing a base-case P&L for thinking about the alternatives. The second and third part of the form consider the three main typical alternatives for capacity expansion: outsourcing, same building but new technology, or new building and new technology; and pushes you to build P&LS for each for comparison with the base case.  It also “forces” you to think if such a decision really makes a difference. The second form has a SWOT form where you’re encouraged to summarize the findings of the process above; the Strategy4Action framework peruses 23+ areas, including Capacity Expansion.  The Key Strategic Decisions are the last of the 23 areas.
