Download or read book Army Life Cycle Cost Model for Missile Systems written by Mitchell L. Mayer and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the methodology and rationale used by the Directorate of Cost Analysis, Comptroller of the Army, for developing an estimate for all or part of the life cycle cost of a tactical missile weapon system. The model reflects the cost analysis discipline which has been established Army-wide with the implementation of DA Pamphlets 11-2 through 11-5 and AR 11-18. It is intended for use by cost analysts as a guide for developing an Independent Parametric Cost Estimate. Current costing procedures and technical data are included. Updates to this document will be made as revision or additions to the data base and methodology are made. (Author).

This book was released on 1978 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A life cycle cost analysis of 78 Army/Navy military computer-based systems is described in order to determine the most cost-effective approach to standardization of computer (instruction-set) architectures. Two basic instruction-set architecture scenarios are considered: (1) standardization upon four widely used military computer architectures (AN/UYK-7, AN/UYK-20, AN/UYK-19 and AN/GYK-12) as computer family architectures (CFA's) and (2) standardization upon a single CFA. The single-CFA scenario is further subdivided into five candidate architectures; i.e. aforementioned four architectures plus AN/GYQ-21 (PDP-11). The life cycle cost model provides for acquisition of the 78 systems in lots of 26 in 1980, 1985 and 1990 and for subsequent deployment over a 10-year period. Military Computer Family (MCF) modules and chassis are employed in all architecture scenarios. Total life cycle cost is defined as the sum of common life cycle cost, hardware life cycle cost of all 78 systems and applications software life cycle cost of all 78 systems. The major data inputs to the life cycle cost model are twofold: (1) architecture test data and (2) evaluation of support software base of each architecture. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the AN/GYQ-21 CFA scenario yields the least life cycle cost over a wide range of assumed parameters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive book on Military Cost-Benefit Analysis and provides novel approaches to structuring cost-benefit and affordability analysis amidst an uncertain defense environment and cloudy fiscal prospects. Lifting the veil on military Cost-Benefit Analysis, this volume offers several new practical tools designed to guide defense investments (and divestments), combined with a selection of real-world applications. The widespread employment of Cost-Benefit Analysis offers a unique opportunity to transform legacy defense forces into efficient, effective, and accountable 21st century organizations. A synthesis of economics, statistics and decision theory, CBA is currently used in a wide range of defense applications in countries around the world: i) to shape national security strategy, ii) to set acquisition policy, and iii) to inform critical investments in people, equipment, infrastructure, services and supplies. As sovereign debt challenges squeeze national budgets, and emerging threats disrupt traditional notions of security, this volume offers valuable tools to navigate the political landscape, meet calls for fiscal accountability, and boost the effectiveness of defense investments to help guarantee future peace and stability. A valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, novices and experts, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Military Cost-Benefit Analysis and will appeal to anyone interested or involved in improving national security, and will also be of general interest to those responsible for major government programs, projects or policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The roles and responsibilities of the Army acquisition and logistics communities, as they pertain to the life-cycle management, are undergoing fundamental change. The early identification and total control of life-cycle cost, in particular operations and sustainment costs which comprises as much as 70-80% of a systems total life-cycle cost, is a high priority for the Army. The basis of this change is adoption of commercial best practices to support the Army's goal to organize. tram. equip, and manage multiple missions in the most cost effective manner. This thesis describes how the U.S. Army and four commercial businesses (FEDEX, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Lockheed Martin, and a Communications Systems Company) manage life-cycle costs (LCC) for the equipment they use to manufacture products or to provide services. The research analyzes how the U.S. Army compares to these commercial businesses and how they are organized to perform the key functions of acquisition and sourcing, and operations and sustainment, to provide quality products or services to their customers while controlling total life-cycle costs of the capital equipment they use to provide their product or service. The thesis concludes with recommendations on how the U.S. Army can best organize and focus to better manage the total life-cycle costs of the equipment they purchase to complete their mission.
