Noting that economies of scale are often a critical driver behind competitive superiority, Townsend helps you understand how scale impacts costs for all functional areas.

A typical goal of participating companies is to determine the magnitude of change required to significantly improve rank in the industry. The challenge is to drive their cost position toward the Best-Of-Class (BOC).

To address this interest, Townsend creates a supply curve by identifying costs on a per plant basis and lining up the plants from lowest to highest cost. The data is then smoothed to mask individual sites.
