Electric utilities and other industrial firms are discovering that by establishing special investment recovery groups they can release scarce investment capital tied up in excess spare parts and equipment. Some of these groups have become significant suppliers of material in the industrial equipment marketplace. Experience is showing that the efforts of these groups can potentially produce more profit for their companies per incremental unit of administrative cost than any other arm of a company's operation. The role of investment recovery groups to identify and profitably dispose of excess inventories will become more important, especially within utilities, because public utility agencies are now encouraging, even mandating, inventory reduction and tighter management overall.
