I suggested if we invest in buying some fleet which we usually hire on a rental basis, we can save approximately AED 5 million in a year. After my suggestion, the management has decided to invest in buying the suggested fleets.
Prepared a benchmark report comparing the controllable cost of the old fleet with relatively new fleets. As per my calculation and presentation, the relatively new equipment controllable cost is 8% of revenue generated while the old equipment same cost is more than 30% of revenue generated. My suggestion was to replace some of the old equipment with new or 2nd hand good condition equipment.
