In practice, engineers need to perform analyses that combine manyfactors at both the strategic and operational levels of organizations, that incorporate elements ofproduct and/or process design, and that consider various forms of risk and uncertainty. Analysesin industry will also likely involve after-tax cash-flows and debt capital more often than they willinvolve basic techniques such as simple payback or comparisons of equal cash flows.
