Parametric-activities-based Framework
Activities are at the core of ProFIT-MAP. The methodology employs a parametric activities based framework for capturing the business structure and dynamic characteristics of operations. ProFIT-MAP:
- Develops a more integrated and refined understanding of operations based on the activities required to produce products at each plant and line – or site and service.
- Translates the activities composition into the resource requirements and associated cost and profitability implications for the product or line.
- Quantifies all identified management options for improving the business (i.e., business scenarios) in an integrated, holistic, and dynamic manner.
- Tests the business scenarios for sensitivity to changes in order to create a more profitable environment.
- Identifies activities that will lead to business success.
- Identifies activities that do not further the objectives, and thereby avoid wasting time and resources.
- Creates a profitable and sustainable operational roadmap.

Famous quotes containing the word framework:
“Most young black females learn to be suspicious and critical of feminist thinking long before they have any clear understanding of its theory and politics.... Without rigorously engaging feminist thought, they insist that racial separatism works best. This attitude is dangerous. It not only erases the reality of common female experience as a basis for academic study; it also constructs a framework in which differences cannot be examined comparatively.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
