Operator’s Excess Assets Value
o Used equipment tend to loose its market value due to
Operators delay/lack of action.
o Operators have limited focus or knowledge of Reverse
Logistic processes. Their expertise is on Roll-out and
not on Roll-in activities.
o TIME is the KILLER factor with regards to securing the
rest-value of out-of-service products.
