MREGC5001 Terotechnology and Life Cycle Costs
This unit will introduce terotechnology and capital investment decisions relevant to asset management. This unit will cover the broad subject area of life cycle costs and the costs-of-ownership of assets; impact of maintenance decisions and capital investment option analysis. The unit will also cover terotechnological aspects of engineering economics. Various tools and techniques will be introduced to help inform capital investment decision making, asset purchase and replacement policies and economic decisions to buy or replace major units and plants. Whole-of-life cost considerations are important in terms of their possible impact on maintainability and in the pursuit of reducing life cycle costs. This is an important foundational course for students interested in practicing good asset management, maintenance and reliability engineering.
