• Abstract:
  This research identified relevant assets for further study on maintenance costs based on reviews of published literature, design policies, and practices, as well as a survey of design and maintenance personnel. An extensive effort to extract and analyze financial and expense records highlighted potential deficiencies in data management and granularity to effectively conduct life-cycle costs for analysis of asset costs.
