A fast-growing beverage company looking to develop, sell and distribute a portfolio of best-in-class cannabis beverage products hired First Key to develop the capacity growth strategy to meet the company’s short and long-term growth sales forecast. The project required analysis of changes in operational capacity under different scenarios and product mixes, and the development of layout, first-order equipment, construction, and engineering cost estimates as well as the timeline estimates and sequencing strategy for the different capital projects required to achieve the different growth milestones as prescribed in the capacity plan. First Key developed a working spreadsheet model for testing different product % mixes and different operational scenarios to analyze their impact on the productivity and overall capacity of the operation.
