How Do You Prove ROI for Packaging Machines?

10/25/2016

When you are considering investing in a packaging machine, one aspect that is important to consider is the ROI. Think about whether this machine going to make sense for you financially in the long-term. The first step to figuring this out might be for you to calculate activity-based costing. This method considers the associated costs of products, services, projects, tasks, or acquisitions based on any activities put into them and any resources they consume.

By considering both direct and indirect costs, you can get a more accurate idea of what your savings will be by automating your packaging line. For instance, you might take into account the labor cost of multiple workers with benefits and workers compensation compared to the cost of a case erector over the years.

Another aspect to look at is the type of machine you will purchase to see if it maximizes efficiency. PharmTech mentions how it’s important to look for quick-changeover features that help deliver flexibility and maximize the return on investment.
