LuckyStars

加个括号，试翻译

investments in service, like those in production and distribution must be balance against other types of investments （on the basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues.）

在服务上的投资，像那些在生产和配送上的投资一样，一定要与另外一种投资（在直接、实际的利益如减少费用或增加营业额的基础上）相平衡。

另外，同义改写。 on the basis of ~ basis on; weighed~balanced against

呃。我觉得就是OG那样解释吧。
要不你贴文章出来给大家看看吧。
