Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with management and product life cycle analysis. The subject of the course are methods of quantification, analysis and optimization of product lifecycle costs. The acquired knowledge forms are the basis for a qualified assessment of the product design variants in terms of product lifecycle cost in order to select the optimal variant.
