A Method for Identifying Savings:A Method for Identifying Savings: Observe old process
Observe new process
Make sure to include all phases of both methods
Measure process times for both
Check for any statistical differences in outcome
Measure frequency of task
Understand fully loaded employee cost per hour

Costs: 3 days to develop interface 24 hrs x $40 = $960
Savings: Each reservation took 10 minutes less 4560 non-recurring reservations first year 760 hrs x $40 = $30,400
Costs: 3 days to develop interface 24 hrs x $40 = $960
Savings: Each reservation took 10 minutes less 4560 non-recurring reservations first year 760 hrs x $40 = $30,400
ROI Calculations:ROI Calculations: Return as a percentage of Investment over
a fixed period: (Return / Investment) x 100 ($30,400 / $960) x 100 = 3167%
Return after deducting Investment for a fixed period:
Return - Investment $30,400 - $960 = $29,440
How long until Return equals Investment: Investment / Return per week $960 / $585 = 1.6 weeks
