The purpose of the Prestudy is to validate the investment of the Main Study. A site assessment is performed by visiting the site, conducting interviews and doing an initial analysis of available data. A statement of work for a Main Study is created.
The Prestudy comes at a fixed price and will generate an offer for the Main Study consisting of an objective, scope and price. The customer only commits to the Prestudy and can then decide to continue with the Main Study or not.
The purpose of the Main Study is to provide recommendations to improve. By performing a deeper analysis of available data, simulation and root cause analysis, an improvement plan is created.
The Main Study price will be decided at the end of the Prestudy, and the delivery includes a Main Study report including recommended actions for improvement and their impact.
