The document proposes reducing material handling costs at the Sun Products Baltimore plant by eliminating forklift leasing and instead rehabilitating old forklifts owned by the company and purchasing the current leased forklifts. This could save over $1.8 million over the lifetime of the project with an initial investment of $182,000 and a return on investment within 7 months. The proposal involves reconditioning old forklifts in the company's possession and gradually replacing the leased fleet with the reconditioned forklifts and purchasing the leased forklifts at the end of their lease terms.
