Actual process or service PQ related disruption costs can vary significantly from facility to facility even in cases when facilities belong to the same industry. It is critical to understand these costs and obtain as close to actual annual facility disturbance profile data and relevant PQ disruption cost estimates before making a business case for a particular equipment solution option. Further, since capital investment in equipment generally includes higher risk levels than investments in various financial instruments, decision makers would require significantly higher levels of ROI and relatively short payback periods, generally less than three years before equipment expenditure can receive approvals.
