Case Study: an international car manufacturer optimizes asset renewal and cuts CAPEX with Cosmo Tech Asset by Cosmo Tech

How a manufacturer built an optimal OPEX/CAPEX asset investment plan to replace and renew obsolete equipment

Cosmo Tech worked with an international car manufacturer facing the obsolescence of industrial assets across its production lines. The customer needed a way to plan maintenance and equipment renewal while accounting for downtime, rising spare parts costs, lost expertise on aging assets, and the impact on production, using Cosmo Tech Asset for asset management planning.

Using Cosmo Tech Asset, the manufacturer simulated maintenance policies, renewal projects, and asset degradation to compare strategic scenarios over the next five years. Cosmo Tech helped identify an optimal and robust investment plan that postponed some renewal campaigns, prioritized others, reduced the risk of failure, and cut planned capital costs, including a reported reduction in annual capital investment of 50% and a drop in capital costs over five years from €10 million per year to €2-5 million per year.
