Concept
Capital Intensive parts are have:
- High
purchase cost - Long
inventory cycle times - High
inventory cost
Example
We stock Bulldozer belts for Caterpillar, Hitachi, Komatsu, etc. The average cost per belt is $30,000 . We sell them at an average sales price of $50,000 .
Our inventorycycle time per belt is approximately 1 year and our cost of capital is 12% .
Thus our inventory cost incurred per item is 0.12*30,000 or $3600 .
Each belt ties up on average $30,000 in capital and we incur an inventory cost of $3600 . This is a Capital Intensive item.
