Pleading the Case for New Equipment

The secret, according to managers who have succeeded, is determining the profitability of that new equipment. If you can prove to upper management that, by upgrading your gear, operating costs will go down, then you might have a chance at a green light.

So what is a manager to do? A simple plan of presenting the key information, such as, how much money the equipment will save and what new advances it will provide for the company, might loosen the purse strings for your in-plant's gain.
