Explains how the software calculates the life cycle cost figure in three steps and uses just 50 to 100 components rather the 300 used by other models. Also outlines how many separate calculations are usually required to generate a basic life cycle cost model and mentions UK guidance on life cycle costing that is due later in the year.
