    Breakout Lunch Session: Impact of Capital Spending on Profitability
    Location: Bonadei Room


    The pulp & paper industry is one of the most capital intensive industries in the world. Recent fluctuations in the global market have shown that the economic environment can produce rapid changes in only a few short months. However, the amount of time that passes between making an investment decision to implementing that decision operationally can easily take longer than one year. If the capital charge on an investment can be as high as $120/ADMT in an average modern mill after implementation, how can you guarantee profitable operations in the long-term?

    Join members of RISI's cost benchmarking team for a special breakout session to address this issue and many others. You will also learn how to use RISI's Analytical Cornerstone tool to determine:


    • The impact of capital costs during the first years of operation
    • The relationship between cash cost and capital cost and its significance
    • The importance of technical age on operations


    ~ Jukka Kuntonen, Analyst, Cost Benchmarking, RISI
