It calculates net present value, internal rate of return, and payback period along with executing sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo techniques. The tool helps to identify the most economical projects/investments. For instance, it could be used to identify the most economical heating and cooling system or it might be used to rank a set of potential investments.", "distribution": [{"accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.18434/M32249", "title": "DOI Access for Smart Investment Tool"}], "identifier": "ark:/88434/mds2-2249", "issued": "2020-08-07", "keyword": ["cost effective", "economics", "internal rate of return", "investment", "manufacturing", "monte carlo", "net present value", "payback"], "landingPage": "https://www.nist.gov/services-resources/software/smart-investment-tool", "language": ["en"], "license": "https://www.nist.gov/open/license", "modified": "2020-06-09 00:00:00", "programCode": ["006:045"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Standards and Technology"}, "references": ["https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.AMS.200-5"], "theme": ["Manufacturing", "Manufacturing:Factory operations planning and control", "Manufacturing:Lean manufacturing", "Manufacturing:Manufacturing systems design and analysis", "Mathematics and Statistics:Modeling and simulation research", "Mathematics and Statistics:Statistical analysis"], "title": "Smart Investment Tool"}
