Lessons learned for FAS and the business model
Another lesson for FAS is the flexibility this approach provides ie being able to have the same tutor and workshop facilities used simultaneously with trainees from different sources (individuals from companies, company groups and individuals on employment programmes). This increased flexibility has costs attached as well as potentially significant financial and efficiency gains, and raises challenging organisational and industrial relations issues that will need to be addressed. What also requires further work is the business case for delivering in this new way, and FAS will be doing more work in identifying the real costs involved in the short and longer term and the potential financial gains (through hidden benefits such as greater use of existing plant and equipment). No specific effort has so far been put into doing any detailed cost benefit analysis.
