I seem to recall that the Maynards Industrial Engineering Handbook has
something on that.
Chapter 3.5: Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
Here is a link:

If you have the password you can read a pdf of the chapter online.
Amazing - I would not have known about this online service if I had not
been prompted by you to search for it - thanks Bruce.
This is always a good starting point to get an overall understanding of
a topic. There may be more specific and detailed texts elsewhere. As
one non-industrial engineer once said to me, "an amazing wealth of
information about IE matters". It also helps lawyers, accountants,
marketers and other non-initiated people to understand the full scope of
industrial engineering; far too many have this distorted/perverted
impression that industrial engineers fix toilets ;-0.

Happy Earth Day,
Can anyone recommend a good published explanation, case, or best yet, a
simulation on Life Cycle Costing? I would like to use it in my
undergraduate and graduate strategy courses and/or my sophomore level
sustainability course. I’d be glad to share the findings with anyone
interested. Thank you
Bruce
We need a sustainability day...
