1、Designation: E 2453 05Standard Practice forDetermining the Life-Cycle Cost of Ownership of PersonalProperty1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2453; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of las
2、t revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONHistorically, the financial and property management communities have considered the “cost” of anitem or group of items t
3、o be the acquisition value of the item(s), that is, the value/cost of an item isgenerally based upon the amount of money paid for the item, irrespective of the many and varied costsassociated with the full life cycle. As detailed in Practice E 2219, given unique circumstances, theremay be more appro
4、priate models for valuing property. However, for the purpose of this practice onlife-cycle costing (LCC), one should consider that in addition to the initial procurement costs, thereare myriad costs required to support, maintain, operate, and dispose of the item(s). This practice onLCC provides an a
5、ccepted methodology for calculating and summing those costs and provides a truetotal cost of ownership.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the establishment of a processconsensus model for determining the life-cycle cost (LCC) ofpersonal property assets owned or used by an entity.1.1.1 For businesses,
6、these personal property assets arerequired to achieve financial returns from producing andselling goods or services, or both.1.1.2 For institutions and agencies, these personal propertyassets are required to accomplish their primary mission.1.2 Real and personal property assets may include capital(f
7、ixed) assets and movable, durable assets including: customer-supplied assets, rental/leased assets, contract/project direct-purchased assets, or expense items.1.3 Asset service lives can be divided into four distinctstages, each with several separate yet interrelated substages:budgetary/planning, ac
8、quisition, utilization, and disposition.These primary stages are not intended to be all encompassing,but are offered as the basis for establishing LCC.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this
9、 standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

16、ol-ogy E 2135).3.1.5.1 DiscussionFor the purposes of this practice, prop-erty includes, but is not limited to, capital (fixed) assets,customer-supplied assets, rental/leased assets, contract/projectdirect-purchased assets, or expense items. Generally, propertydoes not include finished goods, product
17、s, or services marketedor sold or intangible property (such as intellectual property,patents, and so forth).3.1.6 total cost of ownership (TCO), nanalogous to LCC;for clarity and consistency, this practice will use LCC exclu-sively.4. Summary of Practice4.1 This practice provides for complete accoun
18、tability andfinancial control of personal property by separating the fourmajor life-cycle stages into more comprehensive substages andthen associating those stages and substages with the effort andcosts.4.2 Entities adhering to this practice will establish a demon-strable and consistent methodology
19、to ascertain the LCC forindividual assets or groups of assets. Elements of the method-ology will consider, at a minimum, those factors described inthis practice.4.3 The costs, now identified, can be tracked and analyzed,leading to a more comprehensive understanding of how assetscan be more effective
20、ly and efficiently used, especially from acost standpoint.5. Significance and Use5.1 For agencies and institutions, measuring and managingthe LCC of ownership of property may directly result in costsavings, increased asset utilization, extended asset life, andincreased mission effectiveness.5.2 For
21、companies, measuring and managing the LCC ofownership of property may directly result in cost savings,increased asset utilization, and, therefore, improved profitmargins.6. Associated Costs6.1 Associated costs can be broken down into four distinctstages:6.1.1 Budgetary/PlanningConcept, feasibility s

Procedure7.1 Adherents to this practice may choose to track anindividual item or a group of items or the entirety of a class ofitems in accordance with this practi
32、ce.7.2 Life-cycle costs will be computed ensuring as a mini-mum all four life stages are taken into consideration.7.2.1 Thus, a simple LCC equation for a single item couldappear as:LCC 5 B 1 A 1 U 6 D (1)Where:B = budgeting and planning,A = acquisition,U = utilization, andD = disposal.7.2.1.1 The “6
33、D” signifies that the value of D may increaseor decrease the LCC of an item dependent upon whether theentity may realize a return, such as a sale, or an expenditure,such as disposal costs for hazardous items.7.2.2 Endless permutations exist, such as:LCC 5 B11 B21 Bn1 A11 A21 An1 U11 U21 Un1 D11 D21
34、Dn(2)where each subscript identifies a particular functional effortsuch as departmental planning, accounting/finance/procurement, and so forth.NOTE 1It is incumbent upon the user to define the specific relation-ships appropriate for their situation.7.2.3 The LCC for an item or group of items may ber
35、ecalculated on a recurring basis throughout the life of an assetor group of assets based upon the fact that the value of theasset(s) has changed because of appreciation or depreciation.In that instance, the LCC calculation could appear as:LCC 5 B 1 A 1 U 6 D 6 PV (3)where PV is an adjustment based u
36、pon the present value ofthe asset, dependent upon factors such as a tax increase,appreciation in the value of the asset, an unforeseen mainte-nance or repair issue, and the like.7.2.3.1 Again, it is imperative that the using entity definesthe specific relationships appropriate to their situation.NOT
37、E 2In accordance with the valuation methodologies contained inPractice E 2219, in some circumstances other values than that articulatedherein such as “market value” or “depreciated” can be substituted for thePV factor in the calculation.7.2.4 The LCC for a large group of items may be calculatedin a
38、similar manner by summing the costs of those functionalareas/departments involved in the life cycle of the items. Forexample, an annual snapshot of life-cycle costs of all the assetscould appear as:LCC 5 B 1 A 1 U 1 D 6 PV (4)Where:LCC = all assets, real and personal, acquired, used, anddisposed of
39、by the entity during the applicable year;B = resources allocated to procurement functions suchas departmental planning and budgeting, supplychain efforts, and so forth;A = resources allocated to acquisition functions such asdepartmental planning, supply chain efforts, receiv-ing efforts, labeling, a
40、nd recording efforts;U = resources allocated to using the assets, such astraining, metrology, property, facilities, andmanufacturing/engineering;D = resources allocated to disposing of assets no longerrequired, such as property, supply chain, environ-mental, health and safety, ship/pack, and so fort
41、h;andPV = factors influencing the present value of the assets,such as fair value, net book value, and so forth.8.
