Introduction
Destructo
Demolition, Inc. began operation 1990. Our core
business is safe removal of buildings.
"Progress is our pal."
Problem
We are currently
paying $275.00 per month on a leasing/servicing
agreement for our copy
machine. Since this is the last month of our
contract we have the option to renew or cancel.
It might be more cost effective to purchase a new
copier.
Methods
Counters were
accessed; print orders were analyzed to identify
"Current office copying needs."
Randy's Office
Service and Lori's Top of the Line were contacted
to obtain "Pricing
information and specifications on
new/remanufactured copiers."
Results
Analysis
of the data resulted in discovery of the following
facts:
1)
Current office copying needs. The DownTown
office averages 150,000 copies per month at
an average cost of $257 per month. Ten persons use
the copier. Work orders include dual and
single-sided copying, stapling, Collating and
multiple color copying. The current service
contract
averages $325/ month including parts and
supplies
2)
Pricing information and specifications on
new/remanufactured copiers. The following
vendors stock copy machines that meet Destructo
specifications). The cost per month of each
vendor is as follows…
____Randy's
Office Service:
__________Service
Contract: $200 plus parts
__________Copies:
$250
____Lori's
Top of the Line:
__________Service
Contract: $225 plus parts (1 hr service calls)
__________Copies:
$225
Conclusions
Based on the
above facts it is my conclusion that there are copy
machine vendors who will
contract to meet Destructo Demolition, Inc. needs
for less than we currently pay. Lori's Top of
the Line offers the least expensive, and most
dependable service.
Recommendations
It
is my recommendation that we switch to Lori's Top
of the Line unless our current vendor is
willing to negotiate a better offer.
