Why Choose Availability Workbench LCC
AWB’s Life Cycle Cost module integrates directly with RCMCost and AvSim to provide whole-life-cost analysis built on simulated, not assumed, reliability data — the gold standard for capital planning, regulatory submissions and bid preparation.
Whole-Life Cost Modelling
Build hierarchical cost breakdown structures through unlimited indenture levels, then link cost nodes to predicted failure, repair, spares and downtime data generated by RCMCost and AvSim. The result is a whole-life-cost model grounded in simulated reliability rather than spreadsheet guesswork.
Equation-Based Cost Definition
Define cost equations using AWB’s intelligent code recognition. Assign local and global variables. Apply time-dependent and phase-dependent models for inflation, escalation, ramp-up and decommissioning — all while staying inside the same modelling environment as your reliability work.
NPV, DCF & Sensitivity
TMG configures discounted-cash-flow analysis with regulator-aligned WACC assumptions (AER, Ofgem, FERC) so your business case is defensible. Sensitivity tornado plots and scenario branching identify which cost drivers actually matter to the investment decision.
Custom Library Components
Drag-and-drop custom-built library cost structures across projects. TMG develops bespoke component libraries for transformer fleets, pole populations, rotating machinery and electronic systems — encoding hard-won industry data so your team works from a curated starting point.
Data Exchange Pipelines
Import and export cost data to Excel, SQL Server, Access and XML. TMG has built ingestion pipelines from SAP, IBM Maximo and proprietary CMMS platforms — eliminating manual transcription and keeping LCC models current with operational reality.
Training & Capability Building
TMG delivers LCC and AWB training tailored to your team’s experience — from fundamentals of life-cycle costing through to advanced AvSim coupling, regulatory submission preparation and AER REPEX modelling. Public and onsite programs available.
How The Mantua Group Works With You
We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you need full LCC delivery, regulatory submission support, or your team trained to self-sufficient capability — we match the engagement to where you are.
We Do — You Learn
For teams new to LCC modelling in AWB, TMG can lead the full build: cost breakdown structure, equation library development, RCMCost/AvSim linkage, NPV configuration and sensitivity envelope. Your team participates throughout to build capability organically.
We Do Together
Our most common engagement. TMG financial-engineering specialists work alongside your asset, finance and engineering teams in structured workshops, combining their commercial knowledge with our modelling methodology. LCC models emerge from genuine cross-functional collaboration.
We Train — You Do
TMG delivers structured LCC training covering AWB Life Cycle Cost module operation, NPV and discount rate selection, regulator-aligned WACC assumptions, sensitivity techniques and reliability-cost coupling. Available as public or onsite programs.
Independent Review & Audit
TMG provides independent technical review of existing LCC models, regulatory submissions and capital business cases. We assess methodology rigour, discount rate appropriateness, terminal value treatment and reliability-cost integrity — particularly valuable ahead of AER, Ofgem or FERC determinations.
Start Your LCC Modelling Engagement
Whether you’re evaluating AWB LCC for the first time, building an AER REPEX submission, or need an independent review of an existing model — The Mantua Group is ready to help.
