Most cost management efforts concern understanding the past but this title focuses on future costs, their uncertainties, and risks. It presents a new approach toward life cycle costing based on the principles of activity-based costing, uncertainty and risk management, and Monte Carlo methods. This book provides a how-to methodology and shows readers that they can perform any type of cost management better than before if they introduce uncertainty into their models and exploit to the maximum what happens.
