Asset Life Cycle Cost Management

Stephen J. Kirk & Alphonse J. Dell I’sola defines Life Cycle Costing as an economic assessment of an item, area, system of facility that considers all the significant costs of ownership over its economic life expensed in terms of equivalent dollars.

This LCC approach is effective in the decision making process in several main ways:

• It identifies the total cost undertaken in the acquisition of an asset.
• It facilitates an effective choice between alternative methods by taking account various options which display differing capital and running costs.
• LCC is a management tool that details all costs of capital, running and replacement cost associated with either a total building or components within that building.
