Dried-Fruit Processing at Dole Dried Fruit and Nut

Review of Agricultural Economics, 1997, vol. 19, issue 1, 193-197

Abstract: This study presents a case where classic financial analysis was applied to an operations problem in the Dole Dried Fruit and Nut Division of Dole Food Company. Dole Dried Fruit and Nut used three quantitative measures (net present value, internal rate of return, and payback period) and qualitative factors to determine whether it should consolidate several processing plants and the corporate offices into a single plant. The lessons learned from this case can be applied to other businesses evaluating similar consolidation scenarios.
