CMMS For Earthmoving Fleets

life cycle cost for mining equipment

Real life cycle cost forecasts

Samurai gives you a real-time view of your life cycle cost for every asset. Not based on assumptions or spreadsheets, but on the actual work, components, and usage coming off your equipment.

The Only CMMS With Real Life Cycle Cost Forecasting

Most CMMS are built to report history, not control it. They collect costs over time and present a total once the work is done, which means you only see the true cost after it has already impacted your business. Samurai works differently. It uses a continuous life cycle cost engine that dynamically recalculates as component lives, service activity, and work orders change. Every update in the system feeds the forecast, keeping it accurate and current. You are not relying on static models or outdated assumptions, but working from a live view of what your assets will cost next.

What is Life Cycle Costing?

NOT A MODEL. A LIVE FORECAST

The life cycle cost is continuously updated as work happens. No lag, no manual updates, no waiting until the end of asset life to understand the cost.

BUILT FROM REAL WORK

Costs are driven by actual maintenance tasks, component changes, and work orders, not assumptions or static models that drift over time.

DYNAMIC LIFE CYCLE COSTING

As component lives, rebuild intervals, and usage change, your future cost updates automatically, keeping forecasts accurate.

TRUE COST PER ASSET

See the current and projected cost per asset at any time, based on real labour, parts, and service data captured in the field.

ALWAYS ALIGNED WITH YOUR FLEET

Your forecast reflects how your equipment is actually running across sites, not how it was expected to run months ago.

MAKE DECISIONS BEFORE COST HITS

See upcoming spend early, adjust maintenance strategy, and make repair or replace decisions before costs impact your margin.

See how Samurai handles life cycle costing

A real-time life cycle cost engine, always up-to-date

Samurai updates continuously. Every task, service, and component change feeds into the forecast automatically. The result is a livecost model for every asset. Not a static estimate. A working forecast based on what is actually happening on your fleet.

TASK THAT DRIVE THE FORECAST COST

Every future cost starts with a defined maintenance task.

Tasks set the structure for how work is done, including labour, parts, services, and timing. That structure feeds directly into your life cycle cost, so every forecast is built on real maintenance requirements, not assumptions.

Instead of estimating cost separately, your cost model is driven by the same tasks your crew actually executes.

BUILT FROM REAL COMPONENT AND SERVICE DATA

Your life cycle cost is built from the actual components and services on your fleet.

Component lives, rebuild schedules, and service intervals all feed into the forecast automatically. As assets are used and maintained, that data stays current and aligned with reality.

You’re not maintaining a separate model. The system builds it for you as the work happens.

ACCURATE COSTS, CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED

As work orders are completed, actual labour, parts, and service costs are captured against the forecast.

That keeps your life cycle cost accurate over time, with no manual updates or reconciliation. You always have a current view of cost, trends, and future spend.

The result is a forecast you can trust, because it reflects what is actually happening on your fleet.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN YOUR LIFE CYCLE COST IS ALWAYS CURRENT

When your earthmoving equipment cost reflects what is actually happening , decisions become clearer and more confident.

You see future cost before it hits

Cost per asset is always up to date

Forecasts adjust as the fleet changes

Maintenance spend becomes predictable

You stop relying on old assumptions

Decisions are based on real data

Frequently asked questions

What is life cycle cost in asset management?

Life cycle cost is the total cost of owning and operating an asset across its entire life, including purchase, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

Spreadsheets rely on manual updates and assumptions and struggle with the complexity of full life cycle models. Samurai calculates life cycle cost automatically from real maintenance data, keeping forecasts accurate as work happens.

Yes. Samurai continuously calculates cost per hour based on actual and forecast maintenance, giving you a live commercial view of every asset.

Yes. Samurai is built specifically for mining and earthmoving equipment, including component tracking, rebuild cycles, and rotable management.

It lets you compare scenarios, adjust maintenance strategy, and make repair or replacement decisions based on real cost impact, not assumptions.
