Life Cycle Cost Model

Abstract

Recent experience in performing Life Cycle Cost Analyses on single channel tactical radio equipment has shown the need for a complete and computerized LCC model. This report discusses such a model which has been developed by the author. The cost categories and each of their elements are presented initially in broad terms; then the mathematical equations which compute each element are presented. Additionally, a comprehensive discussion of the Learning Curve and various methods of applying it are presented.
