Download or read book Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis written by John Vail Farr and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering has changed dramatically in the last century. With modern computing systems, instantaneous communication, elimination of low/mid management, increased complexity, and extremely efficient supply chains, all have dramatically affected the responsibilities of engineers at all levels. The future will require cost effective systems that are more secure, interconnected, software centric, and complex. Employees at all levels need to be able to develop accurate cost estimates based upon defensible cost analysis. It is under this backdrop that this book is being written. By presenting the methods, processes, and tools needed to conduct cost analysis, estimation, and management of complex systems, this textbook is the next step beyond basic engineering economics. Features Focuses on systems life cycle costing Includes materials beyond basic engineering economics, such as simulation-based costing Presents cost estimating, analysis, and management from a total ownership cost perspective Offers numerous real-life examples Provides excel based textbook/problems Offers PowerPoint slides, Solutions Manual, and author website with downloadable excel solutions, etc.
Download or read book Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis written by John Vail Farr and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of the information age and the digital economy has dramatically changed engineering and other technology-driven fields. With tremendous advances in computing and communication systems, major organizational upheavals, all fueled by complexity, globalization, short cycle times, and lean supply chains, the functions of engineers have significantly changed. Engineers and similar professionals must be technically savvy and have product management and costing skills all while working in a distributed and often unstable environment. This new-edition textbook is updated to cover the integration of cost, risk, value, scheduling, and informationtechnologies going beyond basic engineering economics. Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis, Second Edition, offers a systems and life cycle or total ownership cost perspective. It presents advanced costing techniques such as simulation-based costing, decision and risk analysis, complex systemscosting, software, big data, and cloud computing estimation. Examples and problems demonstrating these techniques with real-world applications are also included. All engineers and similar professionals will find this book useful, but it is mainly written for systems engineers, engineering managers, program/product managers, and industrial engineers. The text can serve as a professional reference or for use with graduate courses on advanced engineering economic analysis and cost management, and financial analysis for engineers.

Download or read book Engineering Economics and Costing written by Mishra Sasmita and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantially revised and updated edition of Engineering Economics and Costing continues to build on the fundamental principles and applications of the subject. Divided into three parts: Part I, Engineering Economics; Part II, Financial System; and Part III, Cost Accounting, the text discusses, in a simple and easy-to-understand language, such topics as interest formulas and their applications, and various methods, for example, the present worth method of comparison, future worth method, annual equivalent method, and the rate of return method. It also includes, in its Appendix, interest tables for a wide range of interest rates (0.25-50%) and for a period ranging from one year to 100 years. These tables, along with the topics discussed, will help students of both Engineering and MCA in evaluating engineering projects. What is New to This Edition: Chapter 2 gives a distinction between Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Chapter 2 also explains the concept of income elasticity, cross elasticity of demand, and elasticity of substitution. At the end Chapter 3, a variety of simple numerical problems with solutions are given to illustrate the concepts discussed. Chapter 8 provides more examples illustrating the various aspects of break-even analysis. While the book is intended primarily as a text for B.Tech. and MCA courses of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT), Orissa, it would also be highly useful for BE/B.Tech. students of other universities/institutes. Besides, practising engineers and project consultants making economic decision analysis would find this well-organized book immensely valuable. What the Reviewer Says: The book is very clear in exposition of the concepts and theories of Economics. I am confident that it will be extremely helpful to the engineering students. --Dr. NIRMAL CHANDRA SAHU Professor, Postgraduate Department of Economics Berhampur University, Orissa

Download or read book Systems Life Cycle Costing written by John V. Farr and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although technology and productivity has changed much of engineering, many topics are still taught in very similarly to how they were taught in the 70s. Using a new approach to engineering economics, Systems Life Cycle Costing: Economic Analysis, Estimation, and Management presents the material that a modern engineer must understand to work as a practicing engineer conducting economic analysis. Organized around a product development process that provides a framework for the material, the book presents techniques such as engineering economics and simulation-based costing (SBC), with a focus on total life cycle understanding and perspective and introduces techniques for detailed analysis of modern complex systems. The author includes rules of thumb for estimation grouped with the methods, processes, and tools (MPTs) for conducting a detailed engineering buildup for costing. He presents the estimating costing of complex systems and software and then explores concepts such as design to cost (DTC), cost as an independent variable (CAIV), the role of commercial off-the-shelf technology, cost of quality, and the role of project management in LCC management. No product or services are immune from cost, performance, schedule, quality, risks, and tradeoffs. Yet engineers spend most of their formal education focused on performance and most of their professional careers worrying about resources and schedule. Too often, the design stage becomes about the technical performance without considering the downstream costs that contribute to the tota1 life cycle costs (LCC) of a system. This text presents the methods, processes, and tools needed for the economic analysis, estimation, and management that bring these costs in line with the goals of pleasing the customer and staying within budget.

Download or read book Engineering Economics for Aviation and Aerospace written by Bijan Vasigh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all engineers and practitioners, it is essential to have a fundamental understanding of cost structure, estimating cash flows, and evaluating alternative projects and designs on an economic basis. Engineering Economics for Aviation and Aerospace provides the tools and techniques necessary for engineers to economically evaluate their projects and choices. The focus of this book is on a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practical applications of engineering economics. It explains and demonstrates the principles and techniques of engineering economics and financial analysis as applied to the aviation and aerospace industries. Time value of money, interest factors, and spreadsheet functions are used to evaluate the cash flows associated with a single project or multiple projects. The alternative engineering economics tools and techniques are utilized in separate chapters to evaluate the attractiveness of a single project or to select the best of multiple alternatives. Most of the engineering economics and financial mathematics books available in the market take either a pure theoretical approach or offer limited applications. This book incorporates both approaches, providing students of aviation and industrial economics, as well as practitioners, with the necessary mathematical knowledge to evaluate alternatives on an economic basis.
