Revised Online Course: Mobile Equipment Life Cycle Costing

Michael Currie has updated his 2007 course Haul Truck Life Cycle Management to include a broader range of mobile mining equipment. The revised course, Mobile Equipment Life Cycle Costing, is a practical guide for managing the economic life of mobile equipment. It covers key financial, commercial and physical aspects of vehicle management and explains specific methods for acquiring and operating these vehicles to full advantage.

The objective is to provide an analytic framework that enables readers to impartially assess mobile equipment investments by using reliable financial modeling and sensitivity analysis. The life cycle model should be functional as a baseline for formal equipment planning and management and for measuring performance.

People who will benefit from this course include purchasing, maintenance, engineering and production managers from mining companies that operate mobile equipment.
