Quality and reliability are issues that are essential for commercial success. For many consumer products the reliability of semiconductor circuits is high enough to cover the lifetime of the system, which can be discarded when it fails. In other applications, e.g. in aircraft or military equipment, the situation is quite different-these systems tend to

Conductor life cycle cost analysis
1995 Rural Electric Power Conference, 1995Electric utilities face a dramatically different economic environment today than in the past. It is no longer adequate to base distribution conductor selection on simple engineering considerations such as ampacity and voltage drop. Such decisions have substantial economic consequences also.

The chapter presents a generic model for assets maintenance management. This model integrates other models found in the literature for built and in-use assets, and consists of sequential management building blocks. More precisely we want to show the reader the importance of selecting an appropriate method when considering the estimation of the non ...

Life Cycle Cost Analysis for Substation
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014Life Cycle Cost of Construction engineering project management is a combination of modern management theory—system theory, cybernetics and information theory combined with the construction project. In this paper, a model of substation life cycle cost is built comprehensively, by making a model for the cost estimating of substation design and ...

Tendering Based on Life Cycle Cost and Life Cycle Analysis
IABSE Congress Reports, 2016<p>Construction projects have high social and environmental costs by nature. A tendering procedure including estimation of the environmental life cycle cost in awarding a contract can facilitate best engineering solutions along with least damage to the environment.

Life-Cycle Performance of Deteriorating Structures, 2003
This paper will discuss the relationships among the minimization of Life-Cycle Cost (LCC), the optimal extension of structural service life, and the target safety level by using the multi-objective genetic algorithm. The paper confirms that LLC, service life and durability level have a trade-off relation and the multi-objective genetic algorithm proved

Fundamentals of Life-Cycle Cost Analysis
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2002Benefit-cost analysis (BCA) is a framework for evaluating the desirability of transportation capital and maintenance investments. Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) has been used for similar purposes, so it may be helpful to compare these two methods for scope and consistency.

Major equipment life cycle cost analysis
2018Equipment life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is typically used as one component of the equipment fleet management process and allows the fleet manager to make equipment repair, replacement, and retention decisions on the basis of a given piece of equipment’s economic life. The objective of this research is to develop a robust method that permits equipment

Life cycle cost analysis of hydrogen energy technologies
2017Today, in the global economy, characterized by a growing awareness of environmental issue, the life cycle costing analysis (LCCA) is receiving increasing attention in various sectors. This is a critical task for modern businesses. In fact, the procurement decisions for many products are made on their life cycle costs.

Decision Analysis and Life Cycle Costing
1983When a government, business or industry faces an important choice, the decision making is inevitably proceded by much quantitative analysis. This analysis serves in part to define the problem, this is to identify all the available options and their possible consequences, and in part to produce a short list of perhaps two or three options, ranked in ...
