What if it didn't have to be this way? The concept of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) has a huge potential to help companies make money and retain a increase their profitability more sustainably and in more long-lasting way. In manufacturing industry TCO has traditionally been applied on purchasing, supply chain and ICT topics, but there is so much more to it. TCO can be applied e.g. in topics of quality, office work, strategy and stakeholder management. And let's not forget about the most important aspect: Us humans who run the companies and work in them.

I'm an engineer originated from Karstula, Central Finland. My educational background is in automotive and transportation engineering plus leadership and organizational studies in open university, currently 43 ECTS and more coming up. I got interested in Total Cost of Ownership when pondering if there are more sustainable ways of using the funds in business than emphasizing only initial purchase in the financial decision making and laying personnel off quite easily during an economical downturn.
