The key components of LCS payment models

• Parts supply agreements

Having Metso owned inventory (MOI) allows you toreduce your working capital

while maintaining high parts availability. With the added visibility to parts consumption

planning and lead time reporting of the Enhanced Supply Agreement (ESA), you will

enjoy guaranteed parts lead time ensuring your maintenance schedule without

budget surprises.

• Monthly billing

We mutually predetermine your payment schedules to allow better predictability.

Once we’ve defined the scope of your LCS, we’ll schedule monthly invoicing.

• Upgrades and CAPEX deferred payments

Depending on the LCS scope, we offer optional deferred payment plans for new capital

equipment and/or spare parts. This gives you financial flexibility to quickly acquire

the solution you need.

• Performance/KPI based billing

Payments can be adjusted based on KPI targets to ensure Metso is incentivized to

deliver performance or is penalized if the targets are not achieved. Multiple KPI´s

can be considered, typically being equipment availability, component lifetimes,

end product quality, and safety indicators.

• Cost per ton billing

Cost per ton payment plans eliminate cost spikes and charge you based on what is

produced in a given month.

This allows you to better predict costs and cash flows and ensures that interests are

perfectly aligned to maximize production.
