Session Topic: What’s Your New Equipment Payoff?
There is a lot more to justifying a capital investment than the purchase price of a machine tool. Many other factors have a big impact on the effectiveness and profitability of a new machine. This presentation will demonstrate how you can accurately justify making an investment in new equipment that will yield the lowest piece cost, and maximize profits. In order to make a wise investment, one must understand the costs involved. These costs include, the tangible and intangible benefits, the cost of not making the investment, and how to accurately calculate the payback.
