Return on Investment Study Theodora Michaelidou Pratima dutta Peter van leusen
Introduction • Gains Prior to implementation of Intervention (March 2007) • Total Costs = $150,000 • Total Sales = $500,000 • Profit= $350,000
The Intervension • Summary of the intervention- process: • Decision to implement new inventory system • implementation period = 40 days • Purchase and installation of new equipment • computers, network, server, printers, software, etc. • Training of employees • # of workshops, # of employees
The Return on Investment analysis • A broad set of techniques for the evaluation of an intervention • The costs and the benefits of the intervention are both measured in monetary terms • The return on investment is then estimated based on the values of the costs and the benefits with a formula
The Benefits • situation after implementation of inventory system (March 2008) • Total Costs = $100,000 • Total Sales = $620,000 • Profit= $520,000 • Comparison Table:
The Return on Investment (ROI) • ROI = (Total gains – Total Cost of Investment) / Total Cost of Investment • Total Gains = $170,000 • Total Cost of Investment = $114, 000 • ROI = ($170,000 - $114,000) / $114,000 = $56,000 / $114,000 = 0.49 = 49 % • As this number shows, the company experiences a significant return on its training program investment.
Conclusions • Was the intervention successful? • The planned actions impacted the outcome • The total sales of the company have increased and the total costs have decreased • A Return on Investment (ROI) of 49% is excellent! • The ROI analysis does not show that the interventions were the actual cause of the change • However, it is important to conduct a more detailed ROI analysis for the entire year to see if the intervention was worthwhile in the long run
