Lemari murah vs premium: kalkulasi TCO 5 tahun yang menge…

Untuk proyek hotel di Bahrain, kami membandingkan 200 kamar dengan dua spesifikasi: lemari MDF laminasi PVC seharga $180/set melawan lemari stainless steel 304 dengan lapisan powder-coat seharga $350/set.

Selama 5 tahun: biaya penggantian untuk MDF: $23,520 di 56 lemari. Untuk stainless: $240 di 3 lemari. Pendapatan kamar hilang karena perbaikan: $20,160 untuk MDF, $540 untuk stainless. Dampak premi asuransi: $4,800 tambahan untuk MDF.

Total biaya kepemilikan 5 tahun: MDF = $99,480. Stainless = $70,780. Versi “premium” justru $28,700 lebih murah dalam 5 tahun.

Pertanyaan yang tepat bukan “berapa harga lemari ini?” melainkan “berapa biaya per malam terisi selama 30 tahun ke depan?” Untuk hotel ini: $0,71 per malam untuk MDF versus $0,51 per malam untuk stainless.
