This can then inform decisions on what changes need to be made to improve these areas. For example, if a company's product sales are not meeting forecasts, a gap analysis might help determine why this is the case and what can be done to boost sales. Similarly, if a factory's productivity is not meeting expectations, a gap analysis can help identify what processes need to be fixed.
