The following table can be used as a general guideline:

	Range of Savings, percent	Median, percent
Better Scheduling Planning time per job decreases, resulting in more job plans produced, fewer backlogged jobs, and fewer breakdowns and emergency repairs. Job scheduling is more efficient through availability of reserve stores materials.  Only jobs with materials available are scheduled, resulting in fewer schedule changes and reduced time spent by personnel waiting for materials. Job planning is improved by the systems support data, which include planner backlog and status report, quick recall of repetitious job plans, and computerized scheduling and historical job analysis.	5 to 12	8.5
Parts Availability More productive time is assured through parts availability.  When parts are not available, craft personnel not only idly await new assignments but also many times spend hours attempting to locate or even fabricate parts.	1 to 3	2
Machine Availability Machine production time increases as the computer contributes to reduced emergency repair through the preventive maintenance program.  The ability of the system to automatically schedule preventive maintenance puts this valuable program up front and removes it from neglect.	0.5 to 2	1.25
Stores Inventory The ability of the system to maintain moment-by-moment inventory levels, automatic ordering, and parts cross referencing results in reduced inventory and fewer stockouts.  The automatic cycle counts and updates inventory for efficient parts management.	10 to 20	15
