CALCULATION OF ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN THE INTRODUCTION OF AN ACOUSTIC DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE MICRONEURAL INDEX OF COTTON FIBER

Abstract

The economic impact of implementing a new laboratory
instrument is the net profit or resource savings resulting from the difference between
the "before" and "after" performance indicators, minus the costs of purchase,
maintenance, and staff training. This includes reduced costs for electricity,
depreciation of old systems, reagents, and consumables. Manual labor is minimized
through process automation, freeing up the time of qualified specialists for other
tasks. The number of tests or samples processed per unit of time increases.
Eliminating human error leads to savings on expensive repeat tests.
