Total Project Cost Reduction
12
Increasing profitability while maintaining quality,
reliability and safety requires continuous
improvement of operational efficiencies. With global
commerce increasing, many U.S. system integrators
and panel builders are using more IEC components,
which often cost less. The labor-to-materials-and-
equipment mix changes with the level of panel
design complexity, and with labor representing
as much as 50 percent of panel cost, installation
time reduction is an ideal way to reduce costs and
increase profit margin. Thomas & Betts offers total
project cost reduction solutions to help you achieve
