Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional costing models for new systems and new buildings in industry, defence or government, have tended to focus on the costs of acquisition and implementation, with scant regard for the costs of running the system or decommissioning after use. The pressure to minimize expenditure and provide value for money from reduced resources means that complex projects have to encompass a wide range of often conflicting issues and interests. Systems Lifecycle Cost-Effectiveness shows how to manage the difficulties that can arise. Optimizing the system lifecycle cost-effectiveness is complex and influenced by many factors. Massimo Pica presents a variety of models for calculating cost, benefits and risk in projects, and explains how the human factors associated with a system’s design and consequent value are as important as the technical costs associated with its construction or creation. This comprehensive text can be used by students, experienced system engineers, cost analysts and managers to improve their understanding of the wide range of issues involved in the evaluation of system life cycle cost-effectiveness.

Download or read book Whole Life Cycle Costing written by Abdelhalim Boussabaine and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole life-cycle costing (WLCC) is rapidly becoming the standard method for the long-term cost appraisal of buildings and civil infrastructure projects. With clients now demanding buildings that demonstrate value for money over the long term, WLCC has become an essential tool for those involved in the design, construction, operation and risk analysis of construction projects. Whole-life costing: risk and risk responses offers a thorough grounding in both the theory and practical application of WLCC. Part I deals with the fundamentals, providing the general background to appreciate WLCC concepts and whole life risk management techniques at the key decision-making milestones through a project’s life. Part II covers the design stage, including service life forecasting and environmental life-cycle assessment techniques in WLCC. Practical frameworks both for assessing whole life risks and risk responses, as well as guidance on developing WLCC budget estimates are also developed. In Part III, the authors consider WLCC during the construction and operations stages, with a strong emphasis upon risk analysis methods and dynamic WLCC assessment. With its mixture of established theory, best practice and innovative approaches, this book will help you make more accurate assessments of the long-term cost effectiveness of projects by: providing a thorough grounding in the theory of WLCC demonstrating how decision-making uncertainty can be reduced by basing choices on sound risk management principles identifying a systematic approach to planning the post-occupancy costs.
Download or read book Electronic Systems Effectiveness and Life Cycle Costing written by J. K. Skwirzynski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the complete proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute on various aspects of the reliability of electronic and other systems. The aim of the Insti~ute was to bring together specialists in this subject. An important outcome of this Conference, as many of the delegates have pointed out to me, was complementing theoretical concepts and practical applications in both software and hardware. The reader will find papers on the mathematical background, on reliability problems in establishments where system failure may be hazardous, on reliability assessment in mechanical systems, and also on life cycle cost models and spares allocation. The proceedings contain the texts of all the lectures delivered and also verbatim accounts of panel discussions on subjects chosen from a wide range of important issues. In this introduction I will give a short account of each contribution, stressing what I feel are the most interesting topics introduced by a lecturer or a panel member. To visualise better the extent and structure. of the Institute, I present a tree-like diagram showing the subjects which my co-directors and I would have wished to include in our deliberations (Figures 1 and 2). The names of our lecturers appear underlined under suitable headings. It can be seen that we have managed to cover most of the issues which seemed important to us.

Download or read book Engineering Design Handbook written by United States. Army Materiel Command and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to provide a text and reference material in System Analysis and Cost-Effectiveness. It is intended for those technical, scientific, management, and administrative personnel who are responsible for preparing information, making decisions or reviewing decisions made by others regarding life-cycle cost, system effectiveness (availability, dependability, capability), or technical feasibility of a system or equipment at any phase in its life cycle. The handbook consists of four chapters: (1) an introduction to the concept of system analysis and cost-effectiveness; (2) a basic framework, or general methodological approach, for conducting and reviewing cost-effectiveness or system analysis studies; (3) a set of techniques (linear programming, queueing theory, simulation, etc.) that can be used for performing cost-effectiveness and system analysis studies; and (4) a review of the basic mathematical and statistical concepts that underlie the scientific approach in the system analysis/cost-effectiveness process.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising prices of labor, material, and particularly energy have forced builders, architects, engineers, building owners and operators, and code writers to identify building designs and building systems that will be cost effective in the long run. This report describes how to measure the life-cycle costs of buildings and building systems. Life-cycle cost analysis, when applied to building decisions, provides an economic evaluation of the net dollar effect, over time, of purchasing, constructing/installing, maintaining, operating, repairing, and replacing buildings or building systems. This recommended practice for making life-cycle cost evaluations will assist the private and public building communities in making cost-effective decisions.
