Pilot study and plan of action

A pilot study is based on a thorough analysis and results in a concrete resource- and time-bound plan of action for achieving set goals.

There are many advantages with conducting a pilot study, including:

• Quantifying of potential
• Identifying improvement areas
• Prioritizing activities
• Facilitating budgeting

The time needed for conducting a pilot study and creating a plan of action depends on the complexity of operations, but you have to count on about three to four months from start-up to the resource- and time-bound plan of action.
