Business Case and Economic Benefits

The business case for the Point-Of-Work Dispensing Concept is very strong. It is not uncommon for payback periods to be well less than one year. But, with Apex’s products, you can frequently realize paybacks in less than six months. By choosing an Operating Lease, many users can realize a NET ECONOMIC BENEFIT (Cost Savings) from the very first day.

Each business case should be considered individually to identify and quantify expected cost savings and productivity gains.

Areas of Potential Cost Savings and Economic Benefits Typically Include:

• Reduction in Consumption (10% to over 30%)
• Reduction in Inventory Levels, Improved Inventory Turn Rates
• Reduction of Retrieval Time and Waiting Time
• Elimination of Stockouts and Related Loss Of Production, Emergency Orders
• Elimination of Obsolete Inventory
• Reduced Procurement Costs
• Accurate, Reliable Inventory Visibility
• Supports Integrated Supply, Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)

The Business Case for Point-Of-Work Dispensing goes far beyond the direct (Hard and Soft) savings realized.
