Page 4 of 4 Changing Automation
For each point of change, up or down, the company is charged $4 per unit of capacity. For example, if a line has a capacity of 1,000,000 units, the cost of changing the automation level from 5.0 to 6.0 would be $4,000,000. Reducing automation does not have the same effect as selling capacity. You will not receive cash for lowering your automation, but will be billed instead. Changes in automation require a full year to take effect– change it this year, use it next year.
