The Puzzle of Cost Has More Than One Piece!
As we continue to see energy prices skyrocket and watch these prices funnel down to the consumer costs, the natural inclination is to be even more price conscious than ever. However, simply comparing the prices of potential replacement products to current products in use, doesn’t necessarily provide the actual cost savings desired. The puzzle of cost has more than one piece. The purchase price is only one factor. Procedures, tools, methods of mixing and measuring and results all factor into the final use costs. A product that might be 20% less to purchase could potentially cost 20% more to use – and the final results may or may not be satisfactory. The current product being used, that once led to acceptable results, may not be correct now. Over time, employee turnover, procedural changes, acquisition of new tools or equipment, or any number of other factors could indeed affect the results and final use costs. Now is great time to audit procedures – from mixing to application to results – to determine whether cost savings could be reaped from adjustments to any of the steps. Our Sales Representatives are well-trained, and their experience can help you determine any deficiencies in systems and procedure that could be creating undo costs that are draining your budget.
