The Feasibility Study

•The CEDI partners are seeking to explore the feasibility of a Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) that would serve as a central distribution point for fresh foods and consumer goods

Page 5: REGIONAL FOODS AND GOODS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE · 2015. 4. 29. · Research 1st Community ... Microsoft PowerPoint - CEDI Presentation RDC FEASIBILITYSTUDY main presentation2015 (2)

• to test the hypothesis that there is an unmet market demand for affordable ‐accessible local, fresh food products and consumer goods in Northern Ontario 

Purpose of the Feasibility Study

Page 6: REGIONAL FOODS AND GOODS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE · 2015. 4. 29. · Research 1st Community ... Microsoft PowerPoint - CEDI Presentation RDC FEASIBILITYSTUDY main presentation2015 (2)

Definition of Feasibility

• More affordable/accessible food products and consumer goods

• Financially sustainable operating model• Social enterprise (not to maximize profits).• Revenues to sufficiently manage risk. • Assumption of readily available capital• Participation interest among a significant group of First Nations.

Page 7: REGIONAL FOODS AND GOODS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE · 2015. 4. 29. · Research 1st Community ... Microsoft PowerPoint - CEDI Presentation RDC FEASIBILITYSTUDY main presentation2015 (2)

The objective is to source direct from manufacturers or importers to allow for:* competitive pricing, * better ‘use by’ dates, * shorter delivery times, and * reduced stock holding.

Objective

Page 8: REGIONAL FOODS AND GOODS DISTRIBUTION CENTRE · 2015. 4. 29. · Research 1st Community ... Microsoft PowerPoint - CEDI Presentation RDC FEASIBILITYSTUDY main presentation2015 (2)

Social Enterprise Co‐operative ModelIn many ways, developing a co‐operative business is a lot like developing a traditional business. Where things differ is that a co‐op is shaped through collective effort and group decision‐making as well as a set of co‐operative principles that help to guide the business. This makes the business planning more complex, but it also means the resulting corporation is stronger and more likely to succeed.
