Asset recovery: new dynamics for purchasing organizations.
INTRODUCTION
For a long time, many organizations considered the surplus disposal function as a backwater and non-consequential area, worthy of minimal attention. It has been described[1] as often being an orphan or stepchild of the procurement process. However, due to current economics, organizations have sharpened their focus on not only material procurement, but also on the function responsible for the deployment of surplus assets. This function is known by several names, including asset recovery, investment recovery, or reverse logistics.
Some of the benefits and problems associated with the disposal of surplus assets have been discussed by various authors.' The key benefits of an aggressive asset recovery program include:
* Generating cash flows which directly affect profits
* Reclaiming floor or warehouse space with reduction in storage costs
* Improved Return on Investment (ROI) due to shrinking of the asset base
* Tax write off and the benefits of planned gift giving
