Comparing housekeeping measures with capital projects in an industrial programme, housekeeping

  • A.requires a larger sanction but a shorter payback
  • B.cannot be measured with any confidence
  • C.delivers sooner but needs continuing discipline
  • D.delivers more slowly but is permanent once done

Answer: C

Correct answer: delivers sooner but needs continuing discipline

Housekeeping - switching off idle machines, repairing leaks, correcting set points - costs little and delivers almost at once, but every one of those savings can be lost again by inattention. A capital project delivers more slowly and requires sanction, but once the equipment is installed the saving persists without anyone having to remember it.
