PROJECT PHILOSOPHY
Designing a network is not as simple as running an algorithm.
The complexity is so large due to the mix of economic, operational and commercial factors. Some of them are very quantifiable, some are hard restraints. Other factors are softer and less tangible.
That's why our approach mixes 'hard' methodology and tools with elaborate sparring between
experienced advisors and company professionals.
Some of the most characteristic elements of our approach are:
- Constructive challenge
- Latitude for of zero-based design
- Prevention of sub optimization
- Maximum insight in sub decisions and
sensitivities
Schedule Consult stimulates the development and sharpening of views. Our projects take place in a productive chemistry where opinions are formed and countered, where dogma's are not taken for granted and seeing bottle-necks is a synonime for searching solutions.
Thus, with us you challenge the status quo in a constructive way.

It is logical to see first if gradual changes will bring the needed improvements. However, this
is not the only reason why more fundamental changes usually get less attention than desirable.
There are serious thresholds and a thorough review takes time and creativity.
A very characteristic aspect of our approach is to explore both paths. We compare gradual
options with more zero-based alternatives. This challenges everyone to look at the network from a
different perspective and creates the atmosphere to consider the needed renewal.
PREVENTION OF SUB OPTIMIZATION
Another key to improvements is the helicopter view: cross the lines between departments. Quite
often solutions can be found by tieing several problems from different parts of the company
together and combining them with a set of new ideas into a comprehensive network solution.
Due to our insight in the different sides of these coins, Schedule Consult is particularly
strong in this
No matter how accurate a profit forecast is, reality is always different. So besides trying to estimate as exact as possiblem it is important to understand the sensitivities of a decision; how sensitive is a final decision for assumptions made?
Our methods and our project approach are based on this principle and have special attention to transparency, comparing decision alternatives and sensitivity analysis.
