Software – Business Plan and Operational Management Design System

Designed for the gourmet mushroom industry by a professional system design team and tested in practice, this ground-breaking Microsoft® Excel-based Mushroom Business Plan and Operational Management Design System© is now internationally available to commercial and industrial start-ups and existing commercial gourmet mushroom cultivation enterprises. Not only will the system prevent inaccurate and unrealistic predictions and operations based on inadequate business plans, it will also allow the company / production manager to accurately predesign the entire operation via the mushroom business plan. Most importantly, the system will keep track of all related aspects of the cultivation process for daily accurate operational management.

To get maximum use of the Mushroom Business Plan and Operational Management Design System, we have compiled the Mushroom Business Design Guide© which provides step-by-step interpretation of the operational management system to operate at optimum levels for maximum profitability. Additional emphasis will be on the know-how to understand substrate formulation design. The Mushroom Business Design Guide can be purchased separately. 

The Mushroom Business Plan and Operational Management Design System orders are now open:
