Question:
Answer: Yes they can!
Additional investment pays back
Involving independent VBR expertise will obviously require an additional investment, however:
- This additional investment will be less than 1% of the total HS or MO project cost;
- This additional investment will pay itself back multiple times by the end of the overhaul process.
How can the involvement of VBR LM overhaul expertise generate this very quick return on investment? By providing in-depth expertise & experience about LM overhauls which will deliver:
- A more effective risk management on project scope, budget and turnaround time;
- A more professional, more controlled and more predictable overhaul process supported by smarter decision making;
- A far better tailored HS or MO project completed at a much better quality & price than you would have achieved without the support of an independent VBR expert.
