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.
