We try to take good care of our equipment, but even the best maintained trucks, forklifts, and machinery have a lifespan. Keeping up on replacing equipment over time helps us to remain efficient and current. The same goes for buildings and unique assets like our land, whether it is paved or gravel. Maintenance and improvements are often necessary and expensive. It takes an organized system to be able to prioritize for the best results, and we have such a system. Managers are responsible for the condition of their assets. Each fall, while they are putting together budgets for the next year, they refine a list of their asset needs. Many times this is repair or replacement, but as we grow, they might want to add new capabilities, like a new truck. The managers rank their requests and explain their reasoning. The Executive Committee then gathers to review and make decisions. Just like your home budget, the first task is to determine how much we can spend on these projects, which we call CapEx, short for Capital Expenditures. Once we know that amount, we begin the process of analyzing the requests and weighing them next to all the others. Part of the process is determining if the request fits the location’s business plan and the company’s strategy. Some items are deemed crucial to either keeping the business operating or accommodating the growth we wish to pursue. Replacing equipment at the end of its useful life is a relatively easy yes decision. Requests for new equipment or building additions will be measured against the sales and profit it could generate. Even this process is ripe for continuous improvement. Future plans include building a predictive model as many as 10–15 years ahead, to help the company and managers plan better for CapEx needs and reinvesting our CapEx dollars in the smartest way possible. For now, when you see a new truck or forklift roll into your yard, you will know that it was purchased using a careful study of our ongoing needs. IMPROVING OUR ASSETS THROUGH CAREFUL ANALYSIS
