By recognizing the significance of
capital purchases for equipment and machinery, a business needs to determine if
the new pieces will add value and perform well over their expected life span
and beyond. This is where a lifecycle
analysis can help. It is used to chart
out the full cost of ownership and compare the costs between different models
and the price difference if bought new, used, or leased.
The process of a lifecycle
analysis takes into account the full price of the leasing agreement and the
purchase price of buying the equipment new or used. Factors should include: delivery charges,
installation fees, any training costs, maintenance, and depreciation. Other things to figure in would be the cost
of disposing of your existing equipment and any plant layout changes the new
equipment or machinery will require. If
financing the equipment or machinery, be sure to include any interest charges
as well.
Used equipment may be your best bet
for equipment or machinery that is not technologically dependent and is not
likely to become obsolete in a short period of time. Also new or used equipment allows you as the
owner to make modifications, whereas with rental equipment, you generally are
locked into that piece of equipment for a set period of time and cannot make
any alterations to it.
