Program plots investment scenarios
September 1st 2010 Logistex has developed an Excelbased
program for assessing the long
term viability of logistics automation
schemes.
The process compares various
investment scenarios over a ten year
period, such as a proposed automated
system and an alternative course of
action, and calculates respective
return on investment.
Measures taken into account
include capital investment and
utilisation, stocks, revenue and
cash flow, operational costs,
staffing levels, property
implications, interest rates and
inflation.
Keith Edmonds, Logistex
head of sales says: "There are
ROI programs out there, but
our extensive experience of every
aspect of the supply chain and
automated handling systems means
we have thoroughly investigated the
viability of a proposed project before
the ROI analysis." More articles from Logistex: |
