A new method for analyzing life cycle cost risk on large programs is presented that responds to an increased emphasis on improving sustainability for long‐term programs. This method provides better long‐term risk assessment and risk management techniques. It combines standard Monte Carlo analysis of risk drivers and a new data‐driven method developed by the Hoy and Hudak (1994). The approach permits quantification of risks throughout the entire life cycle without resorting to difficult to support subjective methods. The Hoy‐Hudak methodology is shown to be relatively straightforward to apply to a specific component or process within a project using standard technical risk assessment methods. The total impact on system is obtained using the program WBS, which allows for the capture of correlated risks shared by multiple WBS items. Once the correlations and individual component risks are captured, a Monte Carlo simulation can be run using a modeling tool such as Analytica to produce the overall life cycle cost risk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
