The CBA Approach • Preliminary Study • Feasibility Study • CBA Report
The Preliminary Survey • Initial evaluation • Information about the existing situation • Assessment of potential
The Feasibility Study • Finalizes data gathering • Assesses the data in detail • Furthers the analysis process
Identify the costs Identify the benefits Consider the effect of time Analyze the results

Office Move ROI RS = Reduction in office space cost CS = Cost of mobile shelving RS – CS _______ = ROI CS
Imaging ROI RS = Reduction in office storage cost PS = Personnel + System costs RS – PS _______ = ROI PS
Risk of Inaction FI = Financial loss from inaction [Negative value] CI = Lack of investment (= 0) -FI – CI -FI – 0 _______ = CI 0 ∞ [negative ROI]
