...1.0 Life cycle costing (LCC) 1.1 Definition Life cycle costing is a cost management approach which includes all costs and ensures that all those costs are managed over the life cycle of the product. Product life cycle begins from conception of the product until its abandonment which can be referred as ‘from cradle to grave‘. Product life cycle has four stages: 1) Product planning and initial concept design It involves process of identifying any underlying conditions, assumption, limitations and constraints such as minimum asset performance, maximum capital costs that might restrict the range of acceptable options to be evaluated. It is a valuable reference for better decision whether the plan should be carried on. This includes the research and development cost market research costs. 2) Product design and development Starting from preparation of development contract until equipment is ready to be introduced to the business. It is also a stage where the factory trials take place. Cost of product design, prototyping, and market testing costs. 3) Production All the manufacturing costs related to producing the products such as direct material, labor, overhead and administrative costs will be incurred. 4) Distribution and customer (or logistical) support This stage is where product are sent to customers and ready to be used. All marketing, selling and distribution costs are incurred at this stage. As for logical support cost, it involves delivery and transportation...

...m P.M HCS 533 Michael Gaul 22 March, 2016 The System Development Life cycle (SDLC) is a model which is used in a project management that involves and describes the stages which are used in information system development project. This life cycle is very useful for the implementation of system development project. The system is a set of components that interact to achieve common goals. It is widely used method of software development and acquisition in information technology area. Various enterprises used this system to achieve a common goal by working together in a proper and systematic way which is useful for achieving the resources and goal. There are various phases which are involved in the process of systematic development life cycle i.e. Planning, Analyzing, designing, supportive and implementation (Joanne Curry, 2007). Planning help us to review the project request, allocate resources and identify project development team. Analyzing is done to conduct preliminary investigations, Designing is done to acquire hardware and software and develop details of systems. Supporting is done to identify errors and monitor system performance and Implementation is a final stage which develops programs and install and convert it into new system. This phase says about its usage in various different enterprises and institutions (Angela Bonin, 2012). The use of System Development Life Cycle in health care institution involves various principal component of a regional hospital care...

...2008) As a Teacher you have a wide range of roles and responsibilities the first I will discuss is Inclusive practice. To ensure you are respected and doing your job correctly you need to ensure you are including everyone equally and fairly in every lesson and practice you do, there are many reasons in teaching why you have to include inclusive practice your lessons, these include: “Inclusion is not bringing people into what already exists, it is making a new space, a better space for everybody” ( Olivero R, 2003) * Legal Requirement ( Equalities Act 2010) This act was brought into force in 2010 and ensures everyone is given the same rights when in education and training, a Teacher needs to ensure they are adhering to this at all times. * Every Child Matters 2003, This is another act that a teacher has to ensure they use as a teacher, This was introduced to help promote the well-being of children and young people. * Promotes a positive Learning Environment- This is crucial as you have a right to ensure every student you are teaching has the right to a positive learning experience free from exclusion. As a teacher I believe this is one of the most important responsibilities you have, they are many different ways to ensure that you using inclusive practice in every lesson they have, there a many different ways to ensure you are using inclusive practice and these include * Language that all understand * Identifying learning styles * Identifying social...

..."There is ample evidence that high quality early education and childcare services can improve children's development, learning and behaviour. We also know that a well qualified professional workforce is by far the most important factor in delivering the best quality of services that give children the best possible start in life" Scottish executive (2006, p1) The national review of the early years and childcare workforce has brought about positive change within the early years sector. Focus was given to develop leadership within the profession. The Scottish executive collaborated with the Scottish social services council to amend the registration requirements for lead practitioners and managers from 2011. This was to ensure a new degree level qualification was attained by staff working in a lead practitioner/management position. "Research has indicated that the best outcomes and experiences for children come from the best qualified and best led services" Scottish government (2007, p12) It was hoped that by creating a genuine career structure for the workforce that this would allow practitioners to develop their professional skills and knowledge needed to progress in their career. Thus increasing qualification and pay within the sector. "These actions will improve the status and recognition of the workforce and support improved recruitment, retention and progression within the sector" Scottish executive (2006, p4) When practitioners work collaboratively with outside agencies...

...In that session, the executive staff became reluctant to visibly support project management since they understood executive gets control of the PMO may become more powerful than other executives. A PMO was formed reporting to the chief information officer. The PMO was comprised of a handful of experienced project managers that could hopefully take the lead in the development of a methodology. The PMO concluded that there were five steps that had to be done initially. After the five steps were done, the executive committee would receive a final briefing on what had been accomplished. * Establishment of the number of life-cycle phases. The PMO wanted no more than 6 cycles. * Make an informal methodology approach * Make a decision to keep which documents are appropriate * Develop a means for capturing best practices using the EPM system * Education and training of...

...The web design team is proposing that the current website be revamped if not completely redone. In order for them to do this they have decided to go with the RUP or rational unified process. This will allow them to be able to suit the requirements of the organization where it is implemented. This type of process will allow them to be able to modify the website as issues come in and they will be able to better connect with the customers who use the website. The RUP process uses six best practices or methodologies, which compared to other processes, are more modern in the approach and are used to develop a variety of software applications. The six are iterative development, manage requirements, component based architecture, visual software model, software quality verification and control changes. If the company follows these best practices the company will be successful in the RUP process for this project. The RUP life cycle RUP's life cycle consists of four consecutive phases: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition. In the inception phase, the concept behind the process is reiterated and the boundaries of the project are defined. In the elaboration phase, the problem domain is identified and architecture established. In the construction phase, the software is developed. Finally, in the transition phase, the product is sent to the user domain. Inception Phase The first phase of the process reiterates the concept of what they web design departments want. It...

...IS3445 – Week 10 Assignment Project Part 10. Web Security Life Cycle Software development life cycles are created to help guide businesses towards meeting specific desires and needs within their applications. They drive the steps used to meet best practices and standards that businesses are required to follow to function. SDLCs are made up of various different stages such as; assessments, application development, QA testing, deployments, etc. Best practices and standards dictate that implementing security within the various steps of an SDLC if not all of the steps will provide the best results that any business is trying to achieve. An SDLC can come in a few different models like a waterfall model, spiral model and a V-Model. This document will be used to describe and give a brief summary on many different processes. Application Development: During the development of web applications, things such as poor error handling, and unsecure data transferring can plague the development. Poor error handling could result in malicious users finding much more information about a application than should be revealed and can use that information to gain access to unauthorized areas, while unsecure data transferring could result in data being stolen as it is broadcasted across a network. QA/Testing: Security professionals that continually test software and web applications for malicious attacks or security flaws ensure that products will continue to work as desired. Examples of testing...

...The meaning of life (cycle) What is an asset lifespan? What do we mean when we say “life cycle”, and “whole life planning”? John Woodhouse, Chair of the Experts Panel for the IAM, has been addressing these issues in his role as representative for the UK on the ISO PC251 development of asset management standards (ISO 55000 family). Here, he outlines the issues and some of the options being considered. recognition of need through to disposal and any residual risks or liability period thereafter (“from lust to dust” – see figure 1). This proved a good catalyst towards “long-termism” and better consideration of asset requirements in the first place. And it certainly has helped to break down barriers between engineering design and projects, procurement, operations or asset usage, maintenance or asset care, and renewals or decommissioning. But what is optimal “life cycle asset management” for the assets that pass from one organisation to another – for example, buying and selling (see Figure 2 on page 10). Or, indeed, for which responsibility might be split, either functionally (such as construction T here is plenty of lively debate underway about the appropriate terminology and scope for such things as asset life cycles, whole lives and life cycle activities. At the simplest level, the principles are clear: for a discrete component – with a creation stage and a period of usage, leading to ultimate disposal – we have no problem with the concept of a life cycle. It becomes more...
