The no-cost 11-page guide is avail- able for download at the company's website and details the advantages and disadvantages of traditional approaches versus diversifying strategies, operational and financial considerations for both strategies, and hybrid solutions.

Efficiency derived from consolidation and plant closures assumes the top line is, at best, stagnant." To download the guide, go to https://tinyurl. com/ym6dyp9n.
