FEEDBACK REQUEST: FEASIBILITY OF MOBILE P&O SERVICES

Dear OANDP-L:

Can anyone tell me about a 'successful' mobile service - has operated for
several years or more producing quality appliances? Am only aware of Jo
Nagel's in Hanoi/VN...

For those w experience running a mobile service, could you briefly comment
on -
 
-what do you consider to be 'mission critical elements' of a successful, mobile
P&O service?

-is a permanent workshop necessary? (how do you see the permanent and
mobile ideally working together?)

-what unique precautions/special considerations are necessary to
achieve/maintain appliance quality for a mobile service?

-what significant limitations apply to a mobile vs permanent facility?

-do you see a role for a 'mobile service' which does not fabricate, but takes
m'ments/fits/services appliances at satellite rehab centers?

Our team is considering a mobile service for northern Honduras and looking for
best models - please refer me to any evals/analyses if you are aware.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Jim
