Due to a shortage of manpower, we will invest in equipment. Will that investment really lead to profits?
Manufacturing companies are increasingly introducing labor-saving and automation equipment in response to labor shortages. However, if the introduction itself becomes the goal, there is a possibility that the expected effects may not be achieved. This article explains the points to consider when making capital investments as a measure against labor shortages, including not only the investment amount but also the impact on labor hours that can be reduced and profits, as well as cash flow. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Company information
In manufacturing equipment investment, decisions may be made based solely on manufacturers' estimates and the possibility of subsidies. However, when introducing high-cost equipment, it is necessary to confirm the "total investment amount," which includes not only the main price but also transportation, installation, construction, tools, jigs, and maintenance costs. Additionally, one must consider the funds until the subsidy is received, cash reserves after the investment, monthly repayment amounts, investment recovery periods, order forecasts, production plans, and gross profit estimates, as neglecting these can strain cash flow after implementation. Our company organizes the figures that should be confirmed before equipment investment based on experience in manufacturing and financial analysis. Before ordering high-cost equipment such as machining centers, CNC lathes, 5-axis machining machines, and 3D measuring instruments, we provide materials for the manufacturing industry that highlight often-overlooked aspects such as cash flow, repayment sources, and investment recovery. Equipment investment is not merely a machine purchase; it is a management decision that changes the way a company competes. We will provide insights to confirm subsidies, loans, self-funding, repayment plans, and order forecasts before placing an equipment order. Supervised by Toshirou Ooyama, a former successor of a machining company and tax accountant.
