The model is essentially an in-depth breakdown of the cost of doing business in a region for a specfic type of business. Among the factors examined are costs related to labor, utilities, local transportation, cost of real estate, taxes, construction, travel, air fare, cost of housing, etc. Along with the overall cost of operations, each aforementioned component of the cost of operations is illustrated in the analysis. Hypothetical project parameters are developed based on AE's proprietary knowledge of industry needs; this includes specific labor needs, building specifications and appropriate land acreage, estimated utility demands, and capital investment in machinery and equipment.
