Computerized Production Process Planning. Volume 4. Appendices D, E, and F To Benefit Analysis.

Abstract

The cost benefit methodology developed for the analysis of alternative advanced scenarios of the process planning function was designed to provide several measures of worthiness. As with all investments there are alternative ways to measure their economic viability. In producing the analyses of the composite responses and structured characteristic corporate groups developed from the data, this document presents six different figures of merit; namely, benefit-to-cost ratio, years to pay back and return on investment discounted both before and after taxes and depreciation. Additional keywords: industrial production, computer applications, cost effectiveness.
