Evaluating automation: LCCA, NPV, payback
About this app
Life-cycle cost analysis of a palletising automation following the lecture’s case study: equivalent headcount, annual cost comparison, net cash flow with the depreciation tax shield, and NPV at the real rate from the Fisher equation. The cumulative discounted cash flow shows the payback period against the logistics threshold of 2–3 years; a positive NPV alone is not enough.
