Many individuals and small businesses have struggled to move their ideas from singular creation to mass production. The time, financial investment, and energy are often overwhelming. Building pilot plants can relive all of these problems. Being smaller, they take less money to build and reduced time from start to finish. There are many benefits in using this option when you want to go from small-scale to large-scale production.
Moving a product off the bench is difficult. Creating one is hard enough. Setting up a system to create enough for proper testing in order to get products ready for the market is even harder. Having a smaller facility that mimics a larger one gives you the ability to produce on a larger scale and do more testing at once. This saves time when time is a factor. This gives you the ability to move from the bench to a real manufacturing system.
Testing needs to be done on a larger scale. When a product or item needs to best tested for viability, doing it one at a time can take a very long time. Waiting on the test to finish before starting the next because the facilities aren't available slows things to a crawl. Having more test stations available is a big advantage of having a larger facility. However, having a full-scale lab is very costly and may not be the best choice when first ramping up.
Building a large production facility is costly and prone to errors without making sure the methods are solid. Once the production line is set up in a large facility there are lots of costs to incur if the line is not operating correctly and needs to be modified. Using a pilot phase allows the line to be set up, tested, and modified without a large loss of production time and cost. Once the methods are proven and efficient, it is easier to increase the size to a larger place and know that things will continue to hum along.
Saving money is always good. The pilot plant phase costs much less than the larger systems. The equipment, employees, and other factors are much smaller in scale and keep the investment smaller in turn. Using the middle step reduces the amount of money needed to get up and running. Once the money is coming in from sales, it is much easier to secure capital for the larger facilities.
Modular plants have more flexibility. If you need to have the plant but there are no adequate buildings, think modular. They can also be located pretty much anywhere you want. If your facility needs to be near a natural resource that is remote, this type of setup will work well. It can be built on site and moved later if there is a need. Permanent facilities are great for those that don't need the convenience of a movable or remote station.
Smaller systems take less time to build. Usually, when a small business wants to ramp up production, they spend a lot of money getting the new lines setup. If the new facility takes a long time to get ready, the money continually flows out instead of in. Saving time by getting the system's set up quickly allows the business to start making money much faster. This then allows the products to get to market faster.
There is a middle step that can happen between creation or very small scale and larger production environments. This middle ground allows companies that want to scale-up save money and time so they can get back to earning money quickly. There is also less need to find additional finance through banks and large scale investors when the costs are much more reasonable.
