Beyond Purchase Price: Evaluating Capital Investments in Fabrication Facilities

3:00 pm – 3:30 pm Intermediate

Capital equipment decisions in fabrication facilities often focus on upfront cost, yet the true impact of an investment extends far beyond the initial purchase. This session introduces a practical framework for evaluating capital projects through three lenses: operational performance, risk exposure, and total lifecycle cost. Attendees will explore how to assess whether to retrofit, upgrade, or replace aging systems and how to identify hidden operational risks that may not appear in a proposal. Real-world examples will demonstrate how infrastructure decisions influence productivity, reliability, and long-term profitability. Participants will leave with a clearer, structured approach to making capital decisions that support sustainable growth.

3:30 pm – 4:30 pm Intermediate
