Life-Cycle Costing, Jan Emblemsvag proposes to do something
about it.
Here's a new approach to life cycle costing that brings
activity-based costing, risk, and uncertainty into the forefront.
You'll focus on future costs and learn how you can perform any type
of cost management activity better than before by introducing
uncertainty into models and exploiting them to the max.
