How Investment Recovery Benefits the Supply Chain
It's not trash...it's CASH!
Investment Recovery (often referred to by practitioners as "IR") is the
practice of recovering the highest value of assets
no longer needed by a company. The IR process begins by identifying
idle assets within the organization then reusing or disposing
of the surplus, recouping substantial value in the process.
The assets of any corporation (from supplies and process equipment to entire buildings) wear out or are no longer needed where they were originally put into service. That's where investment recovery adds exceptional value.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGERS BENEFIT FROM
SURPLUS ASSET MANAGEMENT
As experts in surplus asset management, IR professionals employ a unique process to find and identify surplus assets no longer being fully utilized by their organization, then go through distinct steps designed to recoup the highest-possible value from those assets. IR practitioners save their companies-primarily Fortune 1,000 businesses-hundreds of millions of dollars
each year.
A professionally-managed investment recovery program benefits the supply chain in significant ways detailed in the whitepaper,
INVESTMENT RECOVERY: THE MISSING LINK OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN
How Professional Surplus Asset Management Increases Procurement
ROI
Points highlighted in this informative whitepaper include:
Identification of Non-Performing Assets. At any point in time, up to 10% of a corporation’s total assets are either non-performing or surplus.
Highest ROI of any Department. Organizations with a formal Investment Recovery process show more than a 30X return on the disposition of their surplus.
Bottom-Line Improvement. The additional dollars generated from investment recovery translate almost immediately to bottom-line profit improvement.
Sustainability. The investment recovery process helps improve employee morale and is a primary means of supporting the sustainability initiatives of a corporation.
Better SOX Compliance. Substantially improved compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements are an added (and virtually free) benefit of a well-designed investment recovery program.
Learn How. Investment recovery research, professional certification (Certified Manager of Investment Recovery) and formal education in the principles and day-to-day application of investment recovery practices are available only through the Investment Recovery Association. The next courses will be taught at the 77th Investment Recovery Seminar and Trade Show, Feb. 21-24, 2010, in New Orleans.
LEARN INVESTMENT RECOVERY FROM THE PROS. Unfortunately, no university teaches Surplus Asset Management. This lack of knowledge among supply chain management costs organizations millions of lost dollars in asset value recovery and places purchasing departments and supply chain professionals into seat-of-the-pants decisions on the best disposition methods for their surplus. In fact, the ONLY organization providing professional certification and in-depth education focused solely on this complicated and highly-profitable field is the Investment Recovery Association.
ANNUAL SEMINAR & TRADE SHOW. New Orleans recently hosted the 77th Investment Recovery Seminar and Trade Show, February 21-24, 2010. The 2011 Investment Recovery Seminar & Trade Show will be held in the Phoenix area in March or April.
At this international event, there will be over 25 educational seminars, round-table discussions and dozens of networking events including two days of professional trade show sessions. The Trade Show features suppliers to the industry in dozens of categories including scrap metal recycling, auctions (online and traditional), IT asset management, logistics, IR consulting services, demolition and environmental services, among many other specialties benefiting the investment recovery practitioner.
This educational and networking event is open to professionals responsible for the professional management of surplus assets. Members of the Investment Recovery Association receive a significant discount.
