Dr Clark has spent most of the last month developing manufacturing cost profiles for cement factories in different geographies of the world. Such profiles help cement producers and traders alike in finding the right location to produce or source cement.
There are a number of reasons why profiling the cost of cement factories in different geographies of the world is useful. Perhaps an established cement company may wonder where would be the best location to establish the next cement factory for that factory to be most profitable. An existing trader or importer would like to source their own cement from the cheapest-possible location to supply to customers. Perhaps an investor in cement companies wants to understand which existing companies have the best geographical spread to generate the most profits to make the investment successful.
