This document compares the costs and benefits of replacing power pack oil for a crane with and without a pump installed in the maintenance house. Replacing the oil takes 2 fewer hours and saves 2 hours of activity duration when a pump is used. Both options are performed every 14,000 hours over a 2 year period. Installing a pump costs $1,500 initially. Based on calculated cash flows over multiple 2-year periods, installing the pump has a positive net present value starting after the second period, making it a good investment choice.
