The Concept of Life Cycle Costing Applied to the MICV Project.

Abstract

The study presents a new combination of Life Cycle Costing and Linear Indifference based on the MICV (Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle) project. A payment plan, based directly on the mean miles between failure, will be utilized in the program. With the establishment of the contracting plan, the consumer is rendered indifferent to the reliability of the product.
