NTNU Professor Jan Emblemsvåg is a leading expert in Life-Cycle Costing (LCC) and predictive profit metrics.
Author of Life-Cycle Costing: Using Activity-Based Costing and Monte Carlo Methods to Manage Future Costs and Risks (Wiley), he pioneered the use of uncertainty modeling and Monte Carlo simulations to connect costs, risks, and profitability.
His work helps companies apply Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and LCC to create forward-looking insights that protect margins and improve decision-making. With experience across shipping, energy, and manufacturing, Emblemsvåg’s research supports businesses in shifting from reactive cost control to predictive profitability management.
At Asher & Company Nordics, we build on Emblemsvåg’s methodology with Oracle PCM/EPCM to help Nordic companies strengthen profitability and manage risks in uncertain markets.
