Total cost of ownership analysis for modular final assembly systems

Total cost of ownership (TCO) of beamforming- enabled WiMAX systems

Economics of human performance and systems total ownership cost.

Financial costs of investing in people is associated with training, acquisition, recruiting, and resolving human errors have a significant impact on increased total ownership costs. These costs can also affect the exaggerate budgets and delayed schedules. The study of human performance economical assessment in the system acquisition process enhances the visibility of hidden cost drivers which s...

A chance-constrained multi-objective model for final assembly scheduling in ATO systems with uncertain sub-assembly availability

A chance-constraint multi-objective model under uncertainty in the availability of subassemblies is proposed for scheduling in ATO systems. The on-time delivery of customer orders as well as reducing the company's cost is crucial; therefore, a three-objective model is proposed including the minimization of1) overtime, idletime, change-over, and setup costs, 2) total dispersion of items’ deliver...

Total Cost of Ownership: A Differentiated Approach

The purpose of this paper is to develop a differentiated approach to the cost management tool, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Existing TCO related literature has investigated the tool from a focal buyer perspective and has consequently neglected to study TCO from an inter-organisational perspective. Based on empirical data, this paper develops a differentiated approach to the use of TCO consist...
