Optimizing acquisition costs

Dener Makina, Ermaksan, and Yawei*

In Quebec in particular, after-sales service can make or break an investment. A machine purchased 30% cheaper can end up costing much more in the long run if service calls are delayed, if service contracts do not guarantee clear turnaround times, or if parts must be imported. Before signing, it is strongly recommended to verify the specifics: who will perform the service, within what timeframe, at what cost, and with what parts in stock.

* With a thorough assessment of the service available in your region.
