Are we using fixed assets fully?

Posted by 2007 on November 29th, 2009

Slow-moving bureaucratic procedures or mediocre tracking of fixed assets will inflate the capital budget. How? Say a company is slow to compile information about computers that it is disconnecting and relocating. Because these appear slowly on the excess capacity list, managers will buy new computers to meet their needs; even though the company’s current computer assets make the purchases unnecessary. Recommendation: In this situation, controllers may have to visit their company’s paper trails—not just its extra capacity lists—to see if fixed assets are tracked and recycled, avoiding needless capital spending.

Challenge: Shift our employees to a mail-order drug program.
Action: We changed the prescription co-pay for employees. It was a flat 20%. We changed it to a minimum of $10 and a maximum of $40, or 20% if the cost falls between. We also adjusted our plans so that the cost to the employees is the same for a three-month mail order as for a one-month pharmacy order. This has been a major incentive for employees to use mail order and we have saved about $40,000. —Controller, transportation, 1,200 employees, Washington.
