Have you considered FRANCHISING a business? any business? your current business? or creating a new one to franchise? or you’re thinking of buying something up and franchise it? who knows, maybe you are an old-hand at the game of franchising and are currently franchising your business???

First timers and old hands with all the experience in the world, ‘MR. MOXY" has something that you need! Since the concept of franchising is ever so popular! It’s so easy to get lost, going from a to z.

THERE IS PLENTY OF HELP OUT THERE IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

THERE ARE COUNTLESS LAWYERS , ACCOUNTANTS, FRANCHISE EXPERTS, ASSOCIATIONS, AND MANY PROFESSIONALS OUT THERE, VIRTUALLY AT EVERY CORNER, READY, EAGER TO KEEP YOU IN THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW, CAREFULLY HELPING YOU ALONG, CREATING FOR YOU, AND CHARGING BIG MONEY FOR THE HELP! NO DOUBT, THEY DESERVE THE RATES THEY CHARGE YOU! ONE THING I HAVE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST TWENTY FIVE YEARS ARE PEOPLE ARE OFTEN LOST IN THE FRANCHISE GAME AND THEY HAVE INVARIABLY SAID TO ME..."I WISH I HAD A ROAD MAP"!

AS A FRANCHISE EXPO PROMOTER, I ALWAYS FEATURED IN THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY EXPOS ACROSS CANADA, OUR COPY-WRITTEN FLOW CHART, A SPECIALLY DEVELOPED AND LAID OUT CHART( ROAD MAP) CALLED THE PROJECT EVALUATION AND REVIEW TECHNIQUE CHART, FULL SIZED AND WITH LARGE PRINT, ACTUALLY TWO FEET BY SIX FEET. THAT’S RIGHT, YOU HANG THIS ONE ON THE WALL AND FOLLOW THE CRITICAL PATH, FROM A:(START-CONCEPTION OF AN IDEA) TO Z:( GRAND OPENING). IT HELPED THOSE WHO WERE HELPLESSLY LOST, AND THOSE WHO JUST WANTED THE FLOW CHART TO HANG ON THE WALL SO THEY CAN SHOW WHOEVER WAS LOST AROUND THEM THE FLOW FROM A TO Z. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

BUT, LET ME TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT!

It’s a two part program. FIRST SECTION IS THE "NETWORK PLAN FOR ESTABLISHING A FRANCHISE OPERATION", AND CONSISTS OF THREE PHASES, PHASE #1 SITUATION SURVEY, PHASE #2 BUILDING THE FRANCHISE PACKAGE AND PHASE# 3 ACTIVATION OF A FRANCHISE OPERATION. THE SECOND SECTION IS THE "NETWORK PLAN FOR THE START-UP OF A FRANCHISE OPERATION".

HERE’S MORE DETAIL.

THE PROJECT EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT) IS NEITHER A NEW IDEA NOR A COMPLICATED ONE. IT IS WIDELY USED BY GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY, THOUGH ALMOST UNKNOWN BY EVERYDAY FRANCHISORS.

BASICALLY, A PERT CHART SHOWS HOW TO GO FROM START TO FINISH WITHOUT GETTING LOST ALONG THE WAY. AND, WHEN TRYING TO ESTABLISH AND START-UP A FRANCHISE OPERATION, IT IS ALL TOO EASY TO GET LOST ALONG THE WAY.

THESE CHARTS, THEN, SPELL OUT EVERY ACTION THAT MUST BE TAKEN, EVERY DECISION THAT MUST BE MADE. THEY SHOW ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME IT WILL TAKE TO MOVE FROM ONE STEP TO THE NEXT. THEY SHOW ABOUT HOW MUCH TIME IT WILL TAKE TO MOVE FROM ONE STEP TO THE NEXT. AND, MOST IMPORTANT, THEY SHOW HOW EACH STEP RELATES TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT.

LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT SECTION #2 OF THE CHART, AND IF YOU HAD ONE SPREAD ACROSS YOUR WALL OR DESK YOU WOULD CLEARLY SEE THE MAP............

ON THIS SECTION #2 , THE GOAL IS TO OPEN A FRANCHISED UNIT. ONCE THE FRANCHISE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN SIGNED, SEVEN ACTIVITIES MUST BEGIN, LEADING STEP BY STEP TO THE FIRST CRITICAL POINT, THE ESTIMATE OF PROFITS, INCOME AND EXPENSES. HERE, QUOTES AND ESTIMATES DEALING WITH EVERY ASPECT OF THE PROPOSED UNIT ARE COMBINED INTO A PROJECTED P & L STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN USED IN THE MECHANICS OF PUTTING THE UNIT TOGETHER.

EACH BLOCK REPRESENTS A CLEARLY DEFINED EVENT AND EACH CONNECTING LINE REPRESENTS AN ACTIVITY. THE NUMBERS ON THE LINES (AFTER THE BOXES) REPRESENT THE NUMBER OF WEEKS ESTIMATED TO BE NEEDED FOR THAT PARTICULAR ACTIVITY. FINALLY, A HEAVY ARROW LINE IDENTIFIES THE CRITICAL PATH, THE SERIES OF STEPS THAT TAKES THE LONGEST TIME.

BY CALLING ATTENTION TO THESE TIME LIMITATIONS, THE DIAGRAM MAKES ITS GREATEST CONTRIBUTION TO EFFECTIVE CORPORATE PLANNING. BY PLACING EACH ACTIVITY IN ITS PROPER ORDER AND RELATION TO THE WHOLE, THE CHART AVOIDS ANY DELAY BECAUSE OF OVERSIGHTS, SKIPPED STEPS OR UNFINISHED PROJECTS. PROBLEMS CAN BE ANTICIPATED, DELAYS AVOIDED AND THE ENTIRE OPERATION CAN PROCEED UNDER CONTROL.

THE CHART ALSO PROVIDES CONTROL. AS EACH FUNCTION IS COMPLETED, THE BLOCKS CAN BE FILLED IN WITH A RED PENCIL; THE CHART THEN SERVES AS A VISUAL CONTROL BOARD. WHEN KEY DECISIONS ARE MADE, THE STATUS OF THE PROGRAM CAN BE EVALUATED AND NEW TIME ESTIMATES CAN BE APPLIED TO THE REMAINING ACTIVITIES. THEN, BY ADDING UP THE TIME LISTED ALONG THE CRITICAL PATH, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL TIME REMAINING BEFORE THE PROGRAM IS COMPLETED.

THE PRINCIPAL VALUE OF THESE CHARTS OVER OTHER PLANNING TECHNIQUES IS THAT THEY SHOW THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS AND INTERDEPENDENCIES IN A PROGRAM, INSTEAD OF CONSIDERING THE PROJECT AS A COMBINATION OF INDEPENDENT JOBS.
