Notice how the ranking and absolute values of the vital few items in Table 11 have changed by use of
GMP compared to Table 5.
Finally, the net present value calculations are shown in Table 12.

(228,592)
using a 12% discount rate
Note the NPV from Table 6 for a fix when broken (without use of GMP) shows US$(240,773) and the
GMP strategy in Table 12 shows NPV = US$(228,592). GMP produces a savings of US$12,181 by
avoiding pending failures even with inclusion of the higher costs of replacing parts that have not failed.
Step 7: Make break-even charts for alternatives.
Breakeven charts are useful tools for showing effects of fixed and variable costs. Results for the three
alternatives are shown in Figure 5. Cumulative present values are shown on the y-axis to combine cost
of money with time and show how the effects of expenditures and cost reductions play together. A
breakeven points does not exist as GMP is always better than the simple “fix when broken” strategy for
this condition of lost gross margins when outages occur.
