When company Directors and Finance Managers receive requisitions for purchase of air compressors, they are usually not aware of this essential utility in their manufacturing plants.

Engineers who make the purchase requisitions are technically oriented but, usually, not cost oriented. Most universities do not include detailed course in compressed air!

With scanty knowledge of the compressed air production process and its cost implications, the Directors, Finance Managers and Purchase Managers tend to concentrate on CAPEX and ignore the impact on production, quality, and environment related reputation of their company.
