Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a comprehensive methodology for quantifying all expenses associated with various activities along the entire supply chain. These encompass the costs incurred in the acquisition, transportation, storage, and selling of goods. TCO analysis goes beyond the initial purchase price, considering the complete lifecycle costs of a product or service.

By evaluating the full spectrum of expenses, TCO provides a holistic perspective that helps organizations make informed decisions about procurement, supplier selection, and overall supply chain management. This strategic approach enables businesses to optimize their operations, enhance cost efficiency, and make well-informed investment choices based on a thorough understanding of the total economic impact.
