What factors should be considered when qualifying a new application? How should adhesive and other material costs be calculated to discover if there’s a savings benefit? What impact would a Loctite® brand process from Henkel achieve on a company’s workforce and on the safety and efficiency of its production operation? These are the questions that a Henkel representative can answer through an Engineering Cost Analysis.

How it Works
A Henkel Adhesives and Sealants Specialist of Loctite products gathers information on the types of projects a company typically undertakes, whether it’s an attempt at cost reduction, the introduction of new products, the replacement of worn out equipment, safety or environmental improvements in the workplace, or research and development. The representative will review the motivation behind investing resources in this project and the importance of cost-analysis to each project type. Proposal considerations are analyzed based upon their impact on cost, as well as on company performance and processing.

Investment for the Future
As shareholder value increases, companies must invest resources, whether in their employees, new products and technologies, or plants and equipment. Henkel provides a cost analysis tool for capital budgeting that simplifies data entry, amortizes capital equipment costs and calculates inflation and labor charges. Plus, Henkel can suggest further measures to result in additional hard and soft savings.
