Engineering Economics of Life Cycle Cost Analysis
暫譯: 生命週期成本分析的工程經濟學

資訊時代和數位經濟的興起徹底改變了工程領域。隨著計算和通信系統的巨大進步，導致了重大的組織變革，這一切都受到複雜性、全球化、短週期和精益供應鏈的推動，工程師的職能也顯著改變。工程師必須具備技術敏銳度，並擁有產品管理和成本計算的技能，同時在分散且經常不穩定的環境中工作。本書的新版本更新了內容，涵蓋了成本、風險、價值、排程和信息技術的整合，超越了基本的工程經濟學。

《生命週期成本分析的工程經濟學（第二版）》提供了一個系統和生命週期或總擁有成本的視角。它介紹了先進的成本計算技術，如基於模擬的成本計算、決策分析、複雜系統成本計算、軟體、大數據和雲計算估算。書中還包含了展示這些技術的實際應用的範例和問題。

所有工程師都會發現這本書有用，但它主要是為系統工程師、工程管理人員和工業工程師撰寫的，並適用於高級工程經濟分析和成本管理的研究生課程，以及工程師的財務分析。為了協助課堂教學，本教材提供了合格課程採用的教師手冊和可下載的Excel解決方案。

Isaac J. Faber is an active-duty officer in the United States Army and is the Chief Data Scientist at the Artificial Intelligence and Integration Center. Previously he completed his Ph.D. at Stanford University where his research focused on advanced techniques for cyber security, early warning of complex attacks, and the costing of complex computer systems. While at Stanford he was involved in the startup of a company focusing on managing data mining solutions. He previously served as the lead data scientist at the Army's cyber warfare unit. In that role, he guided the development and architecture of an operational cyber analytics platform. Dr. Faber also served a three-year tour at the United States Military Academy at West Point where he was promoted to the rank of Assistant Professor. At West Point he served in the Department of Systems Engineering and taught courses in decision analysis and engineering economy. He also maintained an active sponsored research program in logistics and cyber warfare. Though still an active duty Army officer, he has found time to produced four peer-reviewed journal articles, eleven peer-reviewed conference articles, and six working papers. He is a Ranger qualified combat veteran of Iraq with a Bronze Star and Combat Infantry badge. He has served as the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering Chair of the Engineering Economy Division.
