LIFE FEATURES
|
LIFE is a DOS based multiphase life cycle cost analysis program. It can determine the lowest cost amongst complex project alternatives using the net present value method. LIFE is a very general economic analysis program in that both energy and non-energy related projects can be analyzed. LIFE allows for initial, operational, maintenance, recurring non-annual, and special one time costs. In LIFE, projects can have a life span of up to 50 years. LIFE can also handle projects with multiple phases. Phasing is especially useful for analyzing projects that have planned major additions over the life of the project. PROGRAM INPUT LIFE uses full screen editing features that provide a simple "fill in the blank" input procedure. All input data is checked at the time of entry so that no improper data can be entered. If you have a question about what the program is requesting, type a "?" and the program will offer additional explanations about the input data being requested. Upon completion of the input process, all data is saved to disk and can be reviewed and edited whenever desired. Two types of data are requested: general project data and detailed cost data. The general project data includes the project name, client name, designer name, life cycle base year, interest rates, and phase description data. The detailed cost data allows five cost types per phase: initial costs, operational costs, maintenance costs, cyclical costs, and one time costs PROGRAM OUTPUT The LIFE program provides two basic types of reports: reflection of the input data and computed life cycle costs. The life cycle costs can be printed in summary or detailed form. Many of the reports list the life cycle costs in tabular form such that the total life cycle cost can be easily verified. Reports can be printed to screen, printer or disk file SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Elite's DOS software application LIFE is compatible with all Windows Operating
Systems.(Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, and XP) The minimum hardware requirements to run our application are the same as the minimum hardware requirements to run the operating system which the application is installed
on click here for details. Additionally, 1 MB of hard disk space is required to install and run
