Abstract
Intralogistics systems secure the internal flow of materials and are a success factor for handling and producing companies. In general, the objective of analysing life-cycle costs is to economically evaluate system design alternatives aiming at supporting investment decisions. One essential influence factor of operating costs, and thus life-cycle costs, is the availability. The non-availability significantly influences the operating costs, e.g. repairs or loss of revenues. A research field that has not been investigated in the field of intralogistics is the monetarisation of non-availability. An appropriate cost model is therefore necessary. As a result, the costs of non-availability can be evaluated monetarily as a function of time. With the help of such a monetary parameter, financial risks can already be detected during the planning phase. This paper models an approach of the monetarisation of the non-availability of intralogistics systems as an economical evaluation indicator during the planning phase.
