LCC - Life cycle cost forecasts provide an approximate calculation of the future costs of an object. Therefore they play a key role in the planning of warranty costs and represent a baseline for the calculation of service contracts as well as the planning of replacement investments.
The IZP Dresden team will support you in the preparation of calculation algorithms for LCC
and will do calculations or programming of customer-specific LCC-tools. Our company has experience
with the statistical forecast of life cycle costs based on reliability data (in accordance with
