The procurement of government fixed assets in the form of buildings, business vehicles, and others has not taken into account the entire costs associated with the purchase of fixed assets. The total cost of ownership scheme offers a concept that takes into account the entire costs associated with the purchase, use, maintenance, and disposal of assets.This study aims to develop a conceptual model based on the assumption that the total cost of ownership can be used by the government in implementing fixed asset capital spending. Through this research it is hoped that the government can improve the efficiency of procurement of fixed assets through the implementation of the total cost ownership scheme.The method used in this study is the method of literature study by collecting some of the previous research results related to the theory and practice of total cost ownership. The resulting insights from the previous study were then analyzed using theme analysis for abstraction, thus generating a conceptual model of total ownership cost for the procurement of government fixed assets. The result of this study is a general model proposal for the assessment of total cost of ownership which includes a calculation of the total cost associated with the goods to be purchased by the government at each stage of decision-making, from the search and selection stages to the end of the term

The case helps students to understand the emerging concept of linear and circular economies. It facilitates to examine the implications of circular business models such as remanufacturing on operations management decisions. It also introduces them to the concept of total cost of ownership and impact of remanufacturing on reducing total cost of ownership. The cases help students to evaluate the challenges and opportunities of remanufacturing business in emerging economy like India. This case is among the first few cases on the application of circular economy principles in context of heavy-duty and off-road sector and the impact of these principles on product design and production planning and control decisions.

Große Intralogistikprojekte für Flughäfen oder Paketzentren müssen verschiedene konkurrierende Ansprüche unter einen Hut bringen. Nord Drivesystems setzt dabei für die Antriebstechnik auf einen umfassenden TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) -Ansatz, der sowohl den Systemintegratoren als auch den Betreibern gerecht wird. Der Schlüssel zum besten Kompromiss ist ein individuell zugeschnittenes Antriebskonzept, das nachfolgend vorgestellt wird.

Realitätsnahe Lebensdauerprognosen sind für eine ganzheitliche, betriebswirtschaftliche Kostenbetrachtung sehr wichtig. Wirtschaft und Forschung bemühen sich seit Langem, die Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) von Werkzeugmaschinen zu berücksichtigen. Eine Umfrage unter Herstellern und Betreibern von Werkzeugmaschinen analysiert Verbreitung, erwartete Potentiale sowie Hemmnisse von TCO-Betrachtungen. Anhand der Anforderungen der Branche wurde ein Modell mit Fokus auf der belastungsabhängigen Beschreibung des Ausfallverhaltens von Maschinen und Anlagen entwickelt, das in bestehende Standards eingebettet werden kann.   A realistic lifetime prediction is highly valued in a holistic economic cost consideration. For years, industry and research have endeavored to consider the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of a machine tool. A survey of manufacturers and operators of machine tools analyzes distribution, expected potential and obstacles of TCO. Based on the identified requirements, a model that can be integrated into existing standards has been developed. It focuses on failure behavior of machines and plants, taking stresses into account.

Despite the commonly observed trend towards mechanization and automation of operational processes, the potential benefits of wooden pallets as an essential element of the infrastructure of logistic processes are often overlooked in considerations related to sustainable development. Aspects that are mentioned more often include the very idea of the economy itself (circular economy), characteristics of logistics (green), features of the supply chain itself (sustainable) or expectations towards transport (ecological). The authors believe that the idea of total cost of ownership (TCO) in relation to wooden pallets can be a key component of holistic thinking in terms of sustainable development. In a situation where in relation to logistics, reasonable expectations for developing sustainable supply chains are made, paying attention to such a common logistic facility, namely a cargo pallet, which is given so little attention in research, is, in the opinion of the authors, absolutely justified. Therefore, the article presents an original approach to the problem of aggregation of all costs that cargo pallets generate in their operational life cycle, using the total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis methodology. The main goal of the article, however, is to show that the total cost of ownership of a pallet (not only owning it) can become an effective tool used to significantly reduce the costs of logistic activity of enterprises (as well as whole supply chains) and support the idea of sustainable development in practice. Using the primary data from questionnaire research, the focus was on considerations that were of identification character (cognitive and explanatory considerations), which are typical for basic research that aims to explain given phenomena. Thus, the presented cognitive process covers two main areas, namely: the general theory of sustainable development and the specificity of wooden pallets as carriers used in goods trading in terms of their total costs of ownership.
