Discussion

The term "total ownership cost" is a term used primarily but not exclusively by the US Department of Defense (DoD). The quote was extracted from a presentation by Dr. Karen Miller a lecturer at the University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University, both in Los Angeles. Dr. Miller is an authority on system affordability which includes the concept of total ownership cost.
