Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis

資訊時代和數位經濟的崛起已經徹底改變了工程領域。隨著計算和通訊系統的巨大進步，引發了重大的組織動盪，這一切都受到複雜性、全球化、短周期和精益供應鏈的推動，工程師的職能也發生了顯著變化。工程師必須具備技術能力，並具備產品管理和成本控制技能，同時在分散且常常不穩定的環境中工作。這本新版教科書更新了內容，涵蓋了成本、風險、價值、進度和信息技術的整合，超越了基本的工程經濟學。

《生命週期成本分析的工程經濟學，第二版》提供了系統和生命週期或總擁有成本的觀點。它介紹了高級成本估算技術，如基於模擬的成本估算、決策分析、複雜系統成本估算、軟件、大數據和雲計算估算。書中還包含了示例和問題，展示了這些技術在實際應用中的應用。

所有工程師都會發現這本書很有用，但它主要是為系統工程師、工程管理人員和工業工程師以及高級工程經濟分析和成本管理、工程師財務分析的研究生課程而撰寫的。為了協助課堂教學，教科書提供了適合課程採用的教師手冊和可下載的Excel解答。
