Life Cycle Costing

Life cycle costing is the process of evaluating the total cost of an asset, product, or project over its entire life from acquisition to disposal. It includes purchase cost, operating cost, maintenance, financing, and end-of-life cost. This approach helps management make better long-term decisions rather than focusing only on upfront cost.
