Capital planning

Turn a plant need into a decision-ready project.

ForgePoint develops the scope, assumptions, budget, schedule and risks leadership needs to evaluate a manufacturing investment.

Define the project before committing capital.

Early project definition is where many future costs are either prevented or created. ForgePoint works with plant stakeholders and suppliers to replace broad ideas with documented requirements and realistic execution assumptions.

Planning deliverables may include

  • Existing-condition and stakeholder review
  • Project objectives, boundaries and success criteria
  • Concept alternatives and implementation assumptions
  • ROM budget with allowances and identified exclusions
  • Milestone schedule and production-impact assumptions
  • Risk register, decision log and recommended next steps
  • Capital-request narrative and supporting exhibits

A scalable starting point

Planning support can be limited to one concept or expanded into procurement and execution management once the project is approved.
