| The construction industry has taken a slight hit over the glory years of the housing bubble nike free 4.0 v3 mujer , but these panies feeling the downturn are also the sa panies that built infrastructure over the last 200 years. They will prevail over any ort term drop in overall construction demand; with that said there is always attention that could be given toward the return on investnt that your construction assets bring to bear. In this specific case we will be discussing construction tools and equipnt. My history is in the rental industry, in that industry we were return on investnt orientated by understanding eh assets contribution to the bottom line by having a real ti understanding over ti utilization and dollar utilization. After starting my own construction business several years ago, it beca apparent that although I did not have the sa asurent tools available with owned construction equipnt, the emphasis on return from equipnt investnt still needed to be there. Construction panies are at different levels of understanding the return on invested fleet dollars. I have seen large construction panies that do not trk costs per equipnt piece. I have seen small panies do an extrely good job of understanding how their assets are working for them. In todays market all panies ould work toward a tightening of the belt by prehending how to obtain a better return on equipnt investnt. First and foremost, construction panies need the ability to create a true asurent of outflow of expense in relation to their construction equipnt. Fleet managers, operations managers and aountants need to have a form of trking that contributes specific cost to individual equipnt items. Figure a way to collect nike free 4.0 flyknit colombia , store and use the data that tells you extly what is taking ple with your construction fleet. It is important that you understand asset utilization and return on investnt by analyzing both your utilization and ROI numbers, you can identify key areas within your operation that need improvent, and take the appropriate steps to adjust the way that business is conducted. Once you start trking and asuring you will start to develop the needed data to make inford decision on your construction fleet mix. When it es to decision making it is all driven by opportunity cost which is the cost of any tivity asured in terms of the best alternative forgone. It is the srifice related to the second best choice available to soone who has picked among several mutually exclusive choices. When we analyze opportunity cost as an operations manager we have to understand about other opportunities available. As markets change so do opportunities. In the case of construction equipnt you need to understand current market value of the equipnt and asure that against other available fleet options. After careful analysis you might find that your equipnt is not providing the needed return where the value of the mhine could be put into higher return areas for the pany. If that is the case you need to look at your true cost of keeping the mhine by a careful analysis of other industry opportunities. In many of the markets equipnt rental rates have fallen to a level that does not warrant for contrtors to own an abundance of certain equipnt types. If you find that you need to change fleet mix or increase the return generated on a specific piece of equipnt there are many marketing opportunities out there. 1) Fleet are – Look for a venue that contrtors can list equipnt for sale and also let other construction professionals know that they would be willing to lease or rent the item during the interim. This will allow contrtors to generate additional local revenue while they market the equipnt for sale. 2) No cost to Market venues – Find an attrtive venue that allows you to list your fleet with little or no listing cost, no settlent fees. Generate interest on the equipnt over ti and do not be subject to inflated costs to take the piece to market. 3) Look for industry deals on New Equipnt from the Manuftures. Many manuftures are offering defernts in ca outflow for those with qualifying credit. 4) Do not settle on new or used equipnt purchase until you have really looked at the offering of the overall market. Make sure that you are inford on the overall opportunitiy available. This ours in both used and new equipnt markets and can be redied by spending the ti to not only understand what the mhines offer but understand all the pricing opportunities for the equipnt type you are looking to quire. Bottom line is informing yourself on the prospects of the market. The biggest take away from this article is to increase the data available by a real understanding how individual pieces contribute to the panys bottom line. If we can asure it, we can manage it. If Construction panies make fleet managent a priority it will make for a healthier bottom line.guaranteed. Be aware of the changing opportunities in the industry. Rental rates are getting cheaper, Contrtors are willing to fleet are and many venues will market your construction assets free of charge.
