District 4 Production Warehouse Move Project Details
The business has expanded considerably over the past few years
and District 4 in the East has outgrown its current production
facility. Because of this growth the executives want to expand
the current facility, moving the whole facility 10 miles away.
The location selected has enough room for the production and
the shipping department. However, the current warehouse needs

3. some renovation to accommodate the district’s operational
needs.
The VP of Operations estimates the production and shipping
warehouse move for District 4 will provide room required to
generate the additional $1 million/year product revenues to
meet the current demand due to the expanded production
capacity. Daily production generates $50,000 revenue so a week
of downtime will cost $250,000 in lost revenues.
The move must be completed in 4 months.
Mileage between the old and new facilities is 10 miles.
Bids have been received from contractors to build out the new
office space and production floor and have signed contracts for
work as follows:

Production workdays are Monday through Saturday. The actual
move must be completed in 5 days for as little disruption to
production activities as possible. All contractors are on other
projects but have been booked in advance. The contractors will
gain the necessary permits and schedule city and county
inspections but these tasks need to be identified separately due
to the length of time it can take. Permitting and inspections can
take from one to three weeks, depending upon schedule and the
flexibility of the inspector. The new warehouse is empty and
can be accessed immediately. Framing cannot start until the
permits are received. Electrical and plumbing can begin as soon
as the framing is finished. Drywall cannot start until the
electrical and plumbing inspections are complete. After the

5. drywall is completed, final inspections will be completed by the
county and city. After both the county and city have passed the
new construction, finish work can begin. Building the product
floor work benches can occur at any time before the move
occurs.
