Enter the one-time cost for equipment.
$30,000 <- enter cost of equipment
Enter the yearly labor cost of the PREDICTIVE program
$30,000 <- enter cost of labor
Enter the yearly cost of training for the PREDICTIVE technicians.
$5,000 <- enter cost of training
TOTAL PREDICTIVE COSTS: $65,000
Enter Tax rate for company profits in percent
25 % <- enter tax rate
The basic calculation for ROI is: REAL SAVINGS PER YEAR
______________________________ X 100 = % ROI
NET INVESTMENT OF EQUIPMENT
REAL SAVINGS PER YEAR = (Savings - Expenses) x (1 - TAX RATE)
Savings = Total Potential Savings per Year (from above) $420,800
Expenses = Total Predictive Costs (from above) + Depreciation $38,000
Depreciation = Net Investment / 10 (years) $3,000
Net Investment = Total equipment cost $30,000
ROI = 829%
Payback period calculation
Payback is calculated from the return on investment. If the ROI is 100%, the predictive analysis equipment is paid for in one year. If the ROI is 200%, the equipment is paid for in 6 months, etc.
PAYBACK PERIOD 1.45 MONTHS
The figures entered above include the costs and labor associated with the total machinery that is covered and analyzed with the equipment that is costed. For example, if a user bought a 6300 analyzer and trained one person to use the equipment at two compressor stations with four compressors at each station, the figures above would include all machinery at the two stations, and equipment and labor costs for the person using the analyzer. The equipment costs would be for the 6300 analyzer.
The sample figures above are for a gas pipeline compressor station with four integral compressors.
Expenses are for one analyst including training using one 6300 analyzer.
Some industry standard figures of operational and PM cost of engine/compressors are:
slow speed integral units -- $75 to $125 per BHP per year.
high speed separable units -- $100 to $175 per BHP per year.
These costs include personnel, operations, repair parts, repair labor, lubrication and filters, catastrophic
failures, and normal overhauls and replacements. These costs DO NOT include fuel.
