This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) describes the concept of life
cycle costing with emphasis on LCC techniques and applications as applied to
the phases of the program cycle. These phases are:
a. Conceptual studies, research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E)
b. Investment, or procurement
c. Operating and support (08tS) or in-service
d. Disposal of systems, equipment, and services
Cost elements, estimating techniques and other factors which have a bearing on
LCCs are described; including use of cost estimating relationships (CER) ,
simulation techniques, and "top-down"/"bottom-up" approaches.
is also given to:
Consideration
a. Risk and uncertainty assessments
b. Impact of economic variations including inflation, interest rates, 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 uncertainty which are specific to the
aerospace industry.
