Why care about ROI Investment in Safety Continuing/ Improving Safety and/or Expense Reduction and/or Revenue Increase
Why care about ROI? “If you want to implement/revise safety programs you must show the payoff.”

ROI: Any Questions Shell Aircraft Safety Seminar 2012 Human Factors –Safety’s Vital Ingredient The Hague, Netherlands 11-12 October 2012
Example: Fatigue Awareness Training at MRO Shell Aircraft Safety Seminar 2012 Human Factors –Safety’s Vital Ingredient The Hague, Netherlands 11-12 October 2012
A Few More Challenges to ROI Financial personnel assume ROI responsibility Executives do not demand ROI Corporate culture and ROI Perceived value of ROI Fix problems rather than assign costs Focus on costs Focus on production and schedules Shell Aircraft Safety Seminar 2012 Human Factors –Safety’s Vital Ingredient The Hague, Netherlands 11-12 October 2012
Example ROI Summary Investment Fatigue Awareness Training to 2,500 @ 2 hours each Cost was $205 K during 2011 Benefit Forecast* Reduction in A/C damage: $935K (10% of 2010) Reduction in OSHA injury: $119K (10% of 2010) Financial ROI: 312% Probability of success: .8 +/- .1 Actual* Reduction in A/C damage: $3M (30% reduction) Reduction in OSHA injury: $184K (15% reduction) * Does not include a 1% system-wide efficiency improvement of $900K
Investment Questions How many personnel trained? How long is training in hours? What is the average hourly rate for trainees? Were there missed opportunity costs during training time? Count time for management and support ? Rate? Cost of special hardware? Amortize? Costs for training development & facilities? Amortize? Schedule for training over time?
The Investment Investment to deliver training $204,500.00 Investment to deliver training $204,500.00
Expected Return Questions What are the safety benefits? How many current safety incidents? How many safety incidents can be reduced? What are the metrics to measure these changes? (e.g., aircraft damage, rework, delivery delay, OSHA injuries,…) Costs associated with each metric? How much will personnel efficiency be improved?
The Return - Benefits Aircraft Damage OSHA Reportables $ 934,500 $ 119,202 10% Investment Benefits $1,053,702
Project Summary (1 of 2) Break Even Point $204.5K $638,461/$204.500 = 3.12
Recent ROI Findings Investment Fatigue Awareness Training to 2,500 @ 2 hours each Cost was $205 K during 2011 Benefit Forecast* Reduction in A/C damage: $935K (10% of 2010) Reduction in OSHA injury: $119K (10% of 2010) Financial ROI: 312% Probability of success: .8 +/- .1 Actual* Reduction in A/C damage: $3M (30% reduction) Reduction in OSHA injury: $184K (15% reduction) * Does not include a 1% efficiency improvement of $900K
