The system helps management answer critical questions:

Which manufacturing investments should receive capital?

Does the project create enough financial value to justify the investment?

What is the expected ROI?

How quickly will the investment pay for itself?

What is the project's Net Present Value?

Is the project forecast to remain within its approved CAPEX budget?

How much has already been committed to suppliers?

What is the forecast final project cost?

Which milestones are delayed?

Which projects carry the greatest financial, supplier, schedule or operational risk?

Are the promised savings and benefits actually being realized after implementation?

Did completed investments deliver the original business case?

Which projects should management prioritize across the complete CAPEX portfolio?

The Business Case section connects investment cost with expected cost savings, additional revenue, avoided costs, maintenance impacts, useful life and residual value.

The CAPEX Budget section provides visibility over approved budget, committed cost, actual expenditure, forecast-to-complete, forecast final cost and budget variance.

The ROI Analysis automatically evaluates investments using ROI, Payback Period, NPV, Profitability Index and management investment hurdles.

The Benefits Realization section allows management to compare the financial benefits promised during approval with the benefits actually being achieved after implementation.

The Post-Investment Review provides an important management control by comparing the original investment case against actual project cost, realized benefits and actual payback.

The Executive Dashboard provides centralized visibility over the total CAPEX portfolio, forecast expenditure, cost variance, positive-NPV projects, investment approvals, risks, schedule performance and benefits realization.
