| When considering the executive management | | | | allowed 2 or 4 1-gallon containers/wk I think. I |
| decision to launch a mobile oil change business | | | | spoke with the local auto parts stores and they |
| whether it is a small business or a large | | | | have trouble getting rid of theirs a company |
| Corporation there is much to think about besides | | | | Safety Klean out of Plano, Texas"Safety Klean? |
| the obvious things of employee training, | | | | Hmm? I thought they were a Canadian Company, |
| equipment, scheduling, marketing, business | | | | I always get suspicious this way? Safety Klean as |
| structure, cash flow and growth. Such unique | | | | I remember has had lots of fines; EPA, although |
| businesses like mobile oil change business will | | | | the EPA goes around fining everyone, almost to |
| require additional Business Management Decisions; | | | | the point of extortion, like OSHA and other |
| especially things such as Environmental Controls | | | | agencies. I have heard stories about them in NJ |
| and perhaps some alternative marketing plans.You | | | | and many other parts of the country. I wonder |
| see, although a Mobile Oil Change Business is | | | | why they come out of Plano, TX, hell that is a |
| rather a simple automotive on-site service | | | | long-haul considering they come all the way to the |
| business it also makes sense that getting to all | | | | CA border from there.Indeed, I thought I saw |
| those customers and getting rid of the oil | | | | Safety Klean offices in Phoenix, San Bernardino, |
| collected will take significant planning. When | | | | Bakersfield and Las Vegas too; hell they are |
| discussing this business management case study | | | | everywhere. Is that one of their offices in Plano? |
| with a gentleman going into the business recently | | | | Perhaps they specialize in some sort of business |
| he stated;"With the networking approach you | | | | industry sector and added these little outlets to |
| mentioned I think I could easily have all the | | | | there stop? That hardly makes sense however.In |
| business I need, still have to figure out what to | | | | Mesa, AZ there is a company, which runs most |
| do with all that spent oil though."Indeed and these | | | | of AZ, they sell the oil for ships, after minimal |
| issues must be ironed out before anyone gets | | | | filtration, ship it to Houston by rail car. When they |
| too gung-ho with the business plan proformas. | | | | use to use it for oiling the roads things were |
| Now then to get rid of this used motor oil | | | | different. Perhaps we should; Go to the Ford |
| perhaps we should check with the city, also out | | | | Dealership and talk with the service manager, he'll |
| at the airport and find out what the Marine Repair | | | | give you a number to call, there has to be an |
| Shops and Auto Shops do with it. Obviously they | | | | easier way on this.When considering Business |
| are not using it for heating their shops like other | | | | Management Decisions and Environmental Controls |
| parts of the country? That is to say in the | | | | for a Mobile Oil Change Business or any business |
| Northern Climates people use waste motor oil to | | | | these issues and the costs associated with them |
| run space heaters for their shops. The gentleman | | | | must be completely flushed out prior to |
| checked with the city and other shops then | | | | commencement or continuation of business plan |
| explained what he had learned;"Residents are | | | | development. Think on this in 2006. |
