APPA TCO Full Standard -- Parts 1 and 2 Combined (Key Principles & Implementation and Data Elements) [PDF]

This PDF combines both APPA 1000 Part 1 and Part 2 into one publication.  

APPA's Total Cost of Ownership (APPA TCO) is ANSI-approved and brings a new strategy that allows financial administrators to have full knowledge of an investment: how the investment is operating, how the investment is performing, how much additional financial commitment will be needed throughout the life-cycle of the investment, and when to best recapitalize the investment in the asset. The impacts of consistent or occasional noninvestment can also be analyzed for long-term overall impact.

TCO assists an organization with three major asset decisions:

• New product, facilities, and infrastructure asset selection decisions
• Existing facilities and infrastructure asset renovation or removal decisions
• Short- and long-term financial planning, budget analysis, and reporting.
