Titel
A general framework for the integration of design aspect into life cycle costing
Abstract
Today´s industrial enterprises are operating in a turbulent environment. Technical aspects a well as the international markets determine the production activities. The ongoing monitoring and adaptation of manufacturing systems and service processes help to master these constraints. Demands regarding efficiency and quality of modern manufacturing sytstems are further increasing. Producers of manufacturing systems are responsible for supporting a more robust operation and observing regulations and restrictions during the life cycle stages of the system. "Life Cycle Management" (LCM) considers the product life cycle as a whole and optimizes the interaction of the product design and the life cycle activities. To this end, the protection of resources and the effectiveness during usage is maximized by means of Product Data Management (PDM), Technical Support, Simulation and last but not least by Life Cycle Evaluation such as the method of Life Cycle Costing (LCC).
