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
