IMTS 2018 Conference: Cost Justification

Plan to attend The IMTS 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insights into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic 

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 to accurately justify making an investment in new equipment to yield the lowest piece-cost. To make a wise investment one must understand the costs involved, the tangible and intangible benefits, the cost of not making the investment, and how to calculate the payback.

Registration is now open so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
