Download or read book Modeling Cost and Performance for Military Enlistment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-02-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a cost/performance trade-off model useful for illustrating the effects of budget decisions on the quality of expected performance in the military enlisted force. The model links recruit quality to job performance on the one hand and personnel costs on the other. Understanding these linkages provides a clear rationale, based on performance and cost differences, for choosing applicants for military service. The book examines trends in the quality of military personnel from the beginning of the All-Volunteer Force in 1974 to the year 2000 and beyond. It discusses technical issues associated with the development of the various components of both cost and performance linkages and presents applications of the fully developed model.
Download or read book Army Manpower Cost System AMCOS Economic and Budget Cost Models written by BDM CORP MONTEREY CA. and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past dozen years accurate estimates of the cost of military manpower by Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and pay grade have played increasingly important roles in manpower planning, personnel management, and weapon system design. The authors have developed two models, one of which provides budgetary and the other, economic estimates of manpower cost. Costs for all phases of an enlisted soldier's career have been estimated for all grades and skill specialties. A prototype Management Information System(MIS) has also been built to facilitate access to the voluminous cost data produced. Additionally, the MIS has been used to demonstrate application of the models in comparison of the manpower costs of mechanized infantry battalions equipped with either the M113 or the Bradley Fighting Vehicle System. The results demonstrate that development of the Army Manpower Cost System(AMCOS) is both practicable and desirable. The authors have also identified several areas (most notably training, the MIS, and the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program) where improvement is warranted. An added bonus is the immediate utility of the Enlisted Economic and Budget Cost Models in addressing a wide variety of Army problems. For example, the models can be applied by the MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) group in the Army Research Institute for calculating manpower-weapons tradeoff analyses as well as by other Army manpower planners for analyzing the effects of changes in force composition on manpower cost.
Download or read book Army Manpower Cost System written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a 5-year research and development effort that built a series of budget, economic, and life-cycle cost models for the Army's active, reserve, and civilian components. These models have helped to improve the accuracy and flexibility of the Army's manpower cost estimating capability. Applications include estimates of life-cycle manpower costs of weapon systems and force structures; economic tradeoffs among active, reserve, and civilian manpower; cost implications of personnel policies; and budget decisions. Budget cost, Weapon system cost, Life-cycle cost, Force structure cost, Army manpower cost.

Download or read book Army Manpower Cost System AMCOS Concept and Design for a Life Cycle Cost Model for Active Army Manpower written by Paul F. Hogan and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the first year in the development of the Army Manpower Cost System (AMCOS). The project will design and build a family of budget, economic, and life cycle cost models over a 5-year period. The report sets forth a concept and design for a life cycle cost model for active Army manpower. The report describes how 1) Consistent methodology, a comprehensive data base, and a sound theoretical approach produce accurate estimates for problems with manpower costs that vary over time. 2) The material system cycle, acquisition cycle, and personnel career cycle all influence a manpower life cycle cost model. 3) The model takes into account relevant analytical and practical issues. 4) Modular design of the essential components of the completed operational model centers on a structured cost data base. The report also describes how the original AMCOS development plan was adjusted to develop a life cycle cost model for active Army manpower by the end of the first year and to defer budget and economic models for later development. The report presents alternatives for second-year development that would enhance the now operational lead model for active Army manpower, extend development to build Reserve and civilian models, or do portions of both.
Download or read book Military Cost Benefit Analysis written by Francois Melese and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 325 pages. 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 recent history and development of military manpower/personnel cost models is surveyed. The major models, in general those models not developed ad hoc, are traced in their development and examined for their consistency of logic. Both billet cost models and appropriation-oriented (budget) cost models are discussed with a sufficient background to discern their possible uses. In addition, a per capita cost model is proposed from the recently accepted billet cost model. (Author).

Download or read book Cost Factors in the Army Factors methods and models written by Adele R. Palmer and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents partial findings from the DoD Cost Factor Project. Volume 1 (R-4078/2-PA&E) describes the Army decisionmaking process, and this volume describes data sources and methods used to develop cost factors. "Cost factors" are measures used to estimate the cost implication of changes in defense missions, force structures, weapon systems or operating levels. They include recurring operating and support costs, nonrecurring operations and maintenance costs, and investments costs, such as facility construction. The study also examines intermediate factors, such as personnel pay rates, that are used to develop cost estimates.
Download or read book The Cost of a Military Person year written by Carl J. Dahlman and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the federal government must provide to military personal, where previously available measures focused only on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of this alternative calculus is that truly effective force management requires an increased focus on the cost of personnel.
