Return On Investment - AlignmenT

Consider this: A plant with 200 machines at an average of 30 HP and a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 36 months are aligned once per year using dial indicators. With the same conditions and a laser alignment tool, the following could be expected to occur: The time for alignment would be improved by 30 minutes, the average alignment would be improved from 6 to 3 mils and the MTBF could be increased by 10% (very conservative). The resulting savings from reduced power consumption, man power requirements and increase of MTBF would approach $40,000 per year!!!
