#Life Cycle Costing

In the cost management method of Life Cycle Costing (LCC), acquisition and maintenance costs – for example in transport, infrastructure and railway companies – are assessed over the entire life cycle of the respective infrastructure and technology in order to achieve the best possible cost ratio.
