ARP's Proactive Approach to Asset Recovery

ARP Value Proposition:

An effective, efficient, and proactive Asset Recovery Business Process can have a direct impact on strategic planning, engineering, purchasing, facilities management, performance optimization, budgeting, and financial responsibility by generating the following values:

  • Up to 10% annual reduction in capital spend of new assets by effectively reusing / redeploying existing assets

  • Assisting new business development by providing lower investment threshold opportunities

  • 3 to 10 times increase of asset sale revenue by marketing the assets to “end user buyers” while the assets are still under power

  • ISO 14001 compliance by disposing of assets in ways other than landfill and avoiding environmental crisis management

  • Sarbanes Oxley and GAAP compliance by properly tracking and accounting for assets through retirement

  • Effectively dealing with export compliance regulations

  • Reduction of asset carrying costs (property tax, insurance, etc.) through timely disposal

Asset Recovery Value Added (ARVA™):

A robust Asset Recovery Business Process should have all of the following forms of ARVA (listed highest to lowest):

  • Cost Savings from effectively reusing assets from one facility to another

  • Revenue from selling assets

  • Revenue from scrapping assets

  • Tax benefits from donations

  • Cost Savings from timely retirements

    • Elimination of storage, property tax, insurance costs, etc.

  • Revenue / Cost Savings generated from Building Demolition

  • Cost Avoidance from reduced landfill (ISO 14001)

    • Turn current costs to revenue by finding alternate disposal methods that generate ARVA

  • ARP has developed an ARVA Estimating Calculator.  Call us and we will see how much ARVA your company should be generating.

Assets with Residual Value:

  • Land and Improvements

  • Buildings

  • Machinery & Equipment (capital items)

  • Maintenance, Repair and Operating Supplies (expense items)

  • Vehicles and Mobile Equipment

  • Direct Materials (finished and unfinished inventory)

  • Tooling

  • Patents

  • Trade Credits

  • Office Equipment

  • Furniture

  • Steel coils, blanks, production offal, shavings and metallic scrap plus other raw materials

ARVA Case Study:

One of our clients, a large multi-national manufacturer, implemented key ARP business process changes which enabled them to realize all of the Asset Recovery Value Added (ARVA) benefits.

 

Proactive vs. Reactive Approach:

Typical Reactive Asset Recovery:

  • Limited / no lead time to market assets internally or externally

  • Limited planning drives limited results
     

  • Dramatically reduces opportunity to reuse assets from one facility to another

  • Achieve forced liquidation fair market value (low end)

  • Waiting to determine potential reuse or to get orderly liquidation fair market value, typically need to move assets into warehouse creating additional transaction costs

ARP's Proactive Asset Recovery:

  • Ample lead time to market assets internally for reuse and externally for sale

  • Dramatically increases opportunity to reuse assets from one facility to another

  • Fair market value appraisals drive disposal options (optimization)

  • Achieve orderly liquidation fair market value (high end)

  • Appropriate planning maximizes the ‘window of opportunity’ to effectively coordinate and execute the disposition plan without wasted time, effort or costs
