English Abstract
One of the most common important issues for decision-making is to select of the suitable model among a group of alternatives.
Selecting the best alternative is with crucial importance for an efficient budget management.
In governmental health sector in Jordan, criteria for the selection and purchase of medical devices focused on the safety properties, and the initial purchase price.
Many decisions concerning the purchase of a medical device is usually relying on personal opinions rather than on the basis of life cycle costing information.
In this study, we implemented the concept of LCC to select between two alternative models from three different sets of medical devices, including two electrolyte models (Easylyte Plus and AVL-9810), two X-ray models (UD 150L–30E and KXO-50R) and two infant incubator models (Air shields C450 and Nestoret 5050) as case studies.
For LCC calculations, Kaufmann approach was used, which defines the operating profile, utilizing factor, the most critical cost parameters (i.e.
failure rate and repair rate) and any related cost component (i.e.
operating cost, maintenance cost).
Our results showed that LCC could improve the range and quality of information available for decision-making when a comparison is performed between two alternatives.
When comparing the annual LCC values for each two alternative models, the key effective cost categories affecting LCC were the consumable power cost and/ or consumables costs and the maintenance cost.
Results showed that LCC and device age are linearly related indicating the increase of the cost to maintain the device in service by increasing the device age.
Paired t- test showed significant differences between each two alternative models in annual LCC estimates.
In this study, the AVL-9810 displayed 25% lower annual LCC as compared with Easylyte plus model.
Higher annual LCC value (4.4%) was found for UD 150L–30E than KXO-50R suggesting that KXO-50R is better alternative than UD 150L–30, even though KXO-50R has higher capital cost.
The annual LCC estimate for Air shields C450 was 5% lower than Nestoret 5050 due to lower initial cost and maintenance cost. In conclusion, LCC analysis used in this study is vital for decision making for justifying certain model selection among a group of alternatives based on total costs rather than on the initial purchase price of a device
