Equipment Acquisition Lcc Approach, B S Chetty, K N Krishnaswamy
IIMB Management Review

LCC improves upon the procedure/evaluation criterion which is today totally biased towards short-term approach such as considering only first cost or price alone. The obvious benefits of the approach are discussed in detail in this paper for adaptation by organisations. However, the need for approriate data for applying this approach is also emphasised.

making. Such applications are becoming attractive …
