2、LE COST - TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS FOREWORD The complexity and cost of military aircraft has inexorably increased. In real terms, the unit cost of military aircraft has grown by an average of 8% annually since World War II. There is a direct connection between the initial production cost and the

3、cost of development and of producing spares and repairs. Therefore a potential by-product of the growth in investment costs is an increase in support costs. This trend is emphasized by the fact that the increasing complexity, which drives up production costs, also tends to have an effect on reliabil

4、ity, further raising support costs (Reference 1). Life cycle cost (LCC) is used in the decision making process to evaluate and select equipment offering the most cost-effective solution to meet a defined need. Support costs can range from being equal to, or many times greater than the initial purcha

5、se costs; thus awareness of the whole life cost of equipment before making major procurement decisions is required. This is accomplished through the use of LCC techniques whereby the cost profile of equipment is built up and refined as cost data become available. These techniques address LCC issues

6、including supportability, performance, and manufacturing cost for the following considerations (Reference 2): a. Provide justification for “spend to save“ decisions b. Enable decisions to be better informed, in particular the determination of i nit i al requi rement s c. Allow the impact of differen

Risk and uncertainty assessments b. Impact of economic variations including inflation, interest rates

8、, and c. exchange rate variation Adoption of discounting techniques when undertaking investment appraisals The use of tailored LCC models is preferred since there is an advantage in adopting a range of approaches particularly for the prediction of the costs of future technology and estimates of unce

9、rtainty which are specific to the aerospace industry. 1.1 Purpose: This document supplements the general guide1 ines contained in AIR1939. purpose of this document is to present an overview of LCC techniques and applications during the procurement process for defense related equipment. This document

10、 provides a typical “global I LCC element breakdown structure which is aircraft systems related; while a companion document, ARP4294 provides a detailed scheme for a cost element breakdown structure specific to propul si on systems. The LCC techniques provide a sound basis for cost benefit analysis.

11、 Although specifically aimed at the military procurement process, the recommendations contained in this document can apply to commercial procurement. The use of LCC analysis during the procurement process increases effectiveness of program evaluation by aiding decision making and providing a mechani

Sensitivity SAE ARPxY293 92 m 7943725 050b933 3T7 m SAE ARP4293 3.1 Description: LCC is defined as the sum of all monies expended, attributed directly and indirectly to a defined system from its incepti

48、on to its dissolution encompassing the acquisition, ownership, and disposal phases of a program. In addition, if the system being studied must maintain continuous capability of performing a specified task, then LCC must also include expenditures which arise because the primary provider of the capabi

49、lity is unavailable and a replacement is required. However, for most comparative purposes it is only necessary to identify those cost elements that are directly attributable to the system or subsystem, or that differ between the options being compared. In general, LCC issues need to be addressed initially during the conceptual studies phase when a specific program requirement has been established. 3. Program Phases: The elements of LCC are related to the principal program phases depicted in Figure 1, and are broadly defined as follows: a. Acquisition (1) RDT therefore, pred
