Design-to-Cost (DTC), as part of cost management techniques, describes a systematic approach to controlling the costs of product development and manufacturing.The basic idea is that costs are designed "into the product", even from the earliest concept decisions on and are difficult to remove later.
Cost approach is a real estate appraisal valuation method used to price an individual property. [1] It is one of three methods, the others being market approach, or sales comparison approach , and income approach .
The purpose of the IPMVP is to increase certainty, reliability, and level of savings; reduce transaction costs by providing an international, industry consensus approach and methodologies; reduce financing costs by providing a project with a Measurement and Verification Plan (M&V Plan) standardisation, thereby allowing project bundling and pooled project financing.
In 2006, AACE published their Total Cost Management Framework – An Integrated Methodology for Portfolio, Program and Project Management. [2] In this tested and proven methodology, portfolios of assets are optimized through the use of portfolios of projects, using project management as a delivery system, to support and enhance large, strategic or operational programs [3] in support of the ...
Least-cost planning methodology (LCPM), also referred to as least-cost planning (LCP) is a relatively new technique used by economists for making rational decisions about investments in transport and other urban infrastructure projects. It is based on cost–benefit analysis. However, it is more comprehensive in that it looks at not only the ...
Target costing is defined as "a disciplined process for determining and achieving a full-stream cost at which a proposed product with specified functionality, performance, and quality must be produced in order to generate the desired profitability at the product’s anticipated selling price over a specified period of time in the future."
A fundamental principle of S-ROI is the creation of monetized models of non-cash benefits and costs. [1] Benefits might include emissions avoided, resources saved, or improvements in health and productivity, while costs could include adverse effects on public health, risk associated with rising costs for resources or disposal, or impacts of a project on nearby farms, fisheries, or tourism sites.
Cost estimation models are mathematical algorithms or parametric equations used to estimate the costs of a product or project. The results of the models are typically necessary to obtain approval to proceed, and are factored into business plans, budgets, and other financial planning and tracking mechanisms.
