In particular, the LCC software has been used to evaluate the costs and the main parameters Reliability (MTBF, MTTR, downtime, etc.) that affecting often in remarkable way, on the costs related to operation and maintenance of the system.

Under pre design, at best, the client receives studies on the machines and lines that must acquire. These are not available to provide a synthetic vision, because they use static and deterministic techniques and technologies and they do not readily give rapid results, at the changes of the cost parameters. Instead, the LCC analysis performed shows how SCM Group, already under pre design, can provide to the future customer who will buy the machine, a wide range of information not only useful for the immediate but especially for the post warranty. In fact, the information obtained as well as provide values for the cost of making each stage of life cycle, provides the numerical values of main parameters that will affect significantly on the technical and economic performance of the machine during operation.

This approach, contributes to realization of conditions to formulate a specific contractual availability of the machine (agreements providing for a price linked to the achievement of reliable objectives); also it allows developing a competitive after-sales services relating to maintenance and support for the provision of spare parts.
