Systems Life Cycle Costing: Economic Analysis, Estimation, and Management: Engineering Management
Autor John V. Farren Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 iun 2011
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.

Descriere
An analysis of today’s business environment and the integration of software, people, and interfaces, this book explores the roles of engineers, information technologists, and product development professionals. It provides methods, processes, and tools (MPTs) for life cycle costing while focusing on technology centric examples. The author includes unpublished material on the costing of commercial off-the-shelf systems and presents the MPTs from a product development perspective. The text also covers applications that use Excel spreadsheets for better comprehension.
