Ricardo total cost of ownership-economics of emerging fleet technologiesCALSTART
This document summarizes the results of a study analyzing the total cost of ownership of different fleet technologies, including diesel, natural gas, electric vehicles, hybrids, and plug-in hybrids across various vehicle classes and duty cycles. The study found that natural gas provided the lowest total cost of ownership for class 3 delivery vehicles, while diesel was best for class 8 trucks. For other classes, the best technology depended on the specific class and duty cycle. Small fleets saw little benefit from installing their own natural gas fueling infrastructure.
The document discusses several topics related to the purchasing function including:
1. The responsibilities of the purchasing department to provide appropriate levels of supply, quality, and lowest total cost.
2. A case study about a company manager receiving an expensive gift from a supplier and the ethical issues involved.
3. Factors that affect make-or-buy decisions such as financial risks, marketing risks, manufacturing risks, and political risks.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) considers all direct and indirect costs associated with purchasing, owning, and disposing of a good or service from a supplier. TCO includes acquisition costs, ownership costs like maintenance and downtime, and post-ownership costs like warranty repairs or environmental impact. Calculating TCO allows managers to make informed supplier selection and negotiation decisions based on the total lifetime costs rather than just the purchase price. TCO analysis provides benefits like improved performance measurement, decision making, communication, insight, and support for continuous improvement efforts. However, cultural resistance to change, lack of education and resources can present barriers to implementing a TCO approach.
Total Cost of Ownership, what is it ? and why do we need to know more about it.Ashraf Osman
This is a brief presentation about TCO, a subject that should be addressed by all CIO's. A lot of savings can be realized when one gives TCO a careful look ..
This document discusses the total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis when comparing running infrastructure on-premises versus on AWS. It outlines benefits of AWS like automatic upgrades, managed services that reduce operational tasks, and analysts showing AWS reduces costs over the long term. When performing a TCO, stakeholders from different departments should be involved to avoid problematic comparisons. Cost optimization on AWS involves right sizing instances, using reserved instances, increasing elasticity, and ongoing monitoring to reduce costs over time. Migrating workloads to AWS also incurs upfront costs that are recouped over time through yearly cost savings.

Cost Reduction Strategies:Focus and TechniquesThomas Tanel
This is a highly concentrated presentation that addresses the differences among price, cost, and TCO; what cost reduction strategies to focus on; and an overview of various techniques, as well as when and where to use them. Faced with excruciating competitive pressures, many senior C-Level executives require maximum effort from every part of their organization to survive. Today, purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management professionals must be the most progressive cost reduction oriented group in the company.
For many organizations, senior C-Level executives set forth annual purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, and supply management goals that mandate cost reductions. Regardless of the cost savings, avoidances, or containments achieved previously, you are faced with new cost reduction initiatives and objectives.
To make the goal of cost reduction a reality, we cannot focus solely on the price. We must examine the total cost of ownership to your organization, which means moving beyond the organizational environs to include suppliers, internal customers, other allied business functional entities, and external customers. By working both internally and externally with these stakeholders, cost reduction opportunities will become visible.
A typical purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will help reduce supplier prices and avoid incremental costs. A good purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce costs by lowering both costs of acquisition and risks of supply. A great purchasing, acquisition, procurement, contracting, or supply management professional will reduce total costs across the board, increase service levels to the internal customer, make a significant contribution to the bottom line, seek value-added opportunities, and help to delight the organization’s customer. This type of professional also balances supply related costs and cycle time for the lowest overall cost, at the best value, while seeking risk optimization rather than risk minimization strategies.
Life cycle costing is defined as the total cost of owning an asset over its entire life, from acquisition through operations and maintenance to disposal. It considers all costs associated with a product or asset over multiple stages - planning and design, manufacturing and sales, and service and abandonment. Calculating life cycle costs helps management understand cost consequences, identify areas for cost reduction, and make better decisions around product development, pricing, and discontinuation.
Bessemer Venture Partners' is proud to share The State of the Cloud for 2017.
As the definitive guide to the biggest trends in the cloud industry, this year’s “State of the Cloud Report” includes:
1. A Look Back at 2016
- 2016 was a marquee year for a number of reasons. First, we all remember the rocky start in February where the Cloud Market dropped 35%
- Subsequently, rebounded back to normal levels and ended the year up +15%.
- The dip in the market had two main outcomes: First, it led to unprecedented amounts of M&A (4x more than any other year and 40% of the total cloud market cap of $300B) – and second, it led to the fewest number of cloud tech IPOs since the financial crisis.
- A combination of these factors has led to the highest quality backlog of private cloud companies in history. The top 100 private Cloud companies alone represent over $100B of private enterprise value.
2. We provide a deeper look into the three top questions every private cloud CEO should be discussing with his/her executive team
- How fast should I be growing?
- How much should I burn?
- How do I scale?
3. Bessemer’s 7 Predictions for 2017
- The year of human assisted AI
- APIs will serve as the backbone for a majority of software infrastructure
- Architect for infinite scale without infinite spend
- Mobile unlocks non-desk worker productivity
- NPS everything
- Diverse teams win
- The screenless software movement

Cloud Hosted Desktops - The Smart, Low Risk Way To Enter The CloudJeff Fisher
The document discusses Desktops as a Service (DaaS), which allows enterprises to host virtual desktops in a cloud provider's data center. DaaS eliminates the capital costs of owning desktop infrastructure while providing flexible access to Windows desktops from any device. DaaS is seen as a safer entry point to cloud computing than moving servers due to desktops being separated from sensitive on-premise data and systems. The document argues DaaS could eventually enable all branch office IT systems to be hosted in the cloud.
