Operating Cost Information
The term "Life Cycle Costs" can be defined as the sum of the individual costs experienced by an engine from the day of purchase until the day of retirement. In other words, the total Owning and Operating Costs.Owning Costs are fixed costs such as initial purchase price, interest on borrowed money, depreciation and taxes.Operating Costs are a combination of fixed and variable costs such as fuel, oil, operator expenses, road taxes, tires, chassis maintenance and repair, permits, licenses, engine maintenance and repair and downtime.The difference between revenues generated and Life Cycle Costs (total Owning and Operating Costs) is profit.Caterpillar and your Caterpillar dealer cannot guarantee that you will make a profit. However, Caterpillar and your Caterpillar dealer can provide you with a variety of services that can help you reduce the costs that impact your profits.An Engine Operating Cost Analysis is a service provided by your dealer that was developed by Caterpillar to help you reduce the Life Cycle Cost of your engine.More specifically, an Engine Operating Cost Analysis is a computerized program that examines existent and expectant oil, fuel, maintenance, minor repair, overhaul and downtime costs for the period of time you expect to own the engine. It also calculates the operating cost per mile (km), hour or day.This useful tool provides your dealer with the specific information needed to develop a customized Maintenance Management program for your operation which will minimize your engine's operating costs.Before a cost analysis can be performed, your dealer needs to gather as much information as possible about your operation. He will need to know the length of time you plan to keep your engine/vehicle, your average cost of fuel and oil as well as a variety of other ownership and cost related facts and figures.Once this information is obtained, your dealer will enter the data into an established computerized program to produce an Engine Operating Cost Analysis printout reflecting your current and projected operating costs per mile (km), hour or day.The typical printout of the Engine Operating Cost Analysis program has up to four engine scenarios which can be run at one time. The printout is divided into three major areas: * General Information* Engine Operating Information* Operating Cost SummaryGeneral Information
The General Information section contains basic user data such as name, business, location, ownership, usage per year, etc., information.Engine Operating Information
The Engine Operating Information section is divided into eight subsections that address fuel consumption, oil consumption, preventive maintenance, component repairs such as water pumps, turbochargers, air compressors, etc., before failure repairs, after failure repairs, user's revenue rate per hour and lastly, miscellaneous costs such as operator wages, insurance premiums, etc.Current and expected cost information reflected in the Engine Operating Information section is based on the data provided by you. These are the costs that affect your engine's operating cost.Operating Cost Summary
The Operating Cost Summary section is exactly what it implies, a summary. Here the total dollar expense and percentage of the total operating expense is calculated for each of
