Life Cycle Asset And Maintenance Management

16th November 2016

Overview

The total cost of ownership of an asset is often far greater than the initial capital outlay cost and can vary significantly between the different alternative solutions to an operational need. Consideration of the costs over the whole life of an asset provides a sound basis for decision-making. With this information, it is possible to:-

  • Assess future resource requirements
  • Uncover potential costs of potential acquisitions
  • Decide between sources of supply
  • Account for resources used now or in the past
  • Improve system design
  • Optimise operational and maintenance support, through more detailed understanding of input requirements over the expected life cycle
  • Assess when assets reach the end of their economic life and if renewal is required

The life cycle costing process can be simple as a table of expected annual costs or it can be a complex model that allows for the creation of scenarios based on assumptions about future cost drivers. The scope and complexity of the life cycle cost analysis should generally reflect the complexity of the assets under investigation, the ability to predict future costs and the significance of the future costs to the decision being made by the organisation.

A life cycle cost analysis involves the analysis of the cost of a system or a component over its entire life span. Typical costs for a system may include:

  •  Acquisition costs
  • Operating costs
  • Cost of failure
  • Cost of repair
  • Cost of spares
  • Downtime costs
  • Loss of production
  • Maintenance costs
  • Cost of corrective maintenance
  • Cost of preventative maintenance
  • Cost of predictive maintenance
  • Disposal costs
