Download or read book Estimating Costs for Army Materiei Health Hazards written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model was developed to assist the U.S. Army estimate weapon system health hazard costs based on the probability of a hazard occurring and the severity of that hazard. Nine health hazard categories were linked with potential medical outcomes. Incidence rates were researched and costs were calculated based on industry-wide injury, lost time, hospitalization, and disability data. These costs were then related to the existing health risk indices. This study recommends adopting the model, including the results in health hazard assessment reports, and using the results for abatement prioritization to better enable the Army to eliminate or control materiel health hazards and control life-cycle costs. Furthermore, it recommends applying the model to other areas of preventive medicine to provide invaluable quantitative cost savings and cost avoidance information to Army decision-makers.

Download or read book Cost Estimating Relationships A Manual for the Army Materiel Command written by Alfred D. Stament and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is a practical guide for developers and reviewers of cost estimating relationships (CERs) within the various organizational elements of the Army Materiel Command (AMC). It covers the basic methodology, data, and documentation considerations of parametric cost estimating and exemplifies these by drawing on field experience at the AMC major subordinate commands (MSCs). The field experience has also been used as the basis for providing general findings and conclusions regarding current and potential uses of CERs at ehe MSCs. In the report, emphasis is placed on clear exposition of currently available methodology and data. Thus prime consideration is given to standard regression techniques, to accepted data adjustment techniques (for example, those for learning and price level effects), and to types of data available from present sources.

Download or read book System Change Request Cost Model written by Richard E. Musser and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses a cost model computer program developed at HQ, U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command. The Materiel Management Directorate requested the model to help them improve the cost savings estimates contained in system change requests (SCRs) they submit for the Commodity Command Standard System (CCSS) and other computer systems per AMCR 18-17. Army Materiel Command Logistics System Review Committee guidance states the SCRs should contain estimated benefits that are the best that can be derived. SCRs are submitted by systems analysts with heavy workloads who are not cost analysis experts. Various auditors have criticized SCR estimates for inconsistencies and insufficient documentation. The report details the methodology used and provides supporting rationale. Operation of the model is discussed. The appendices include a listing of the prompts and user inputs for a sample run session plus the example's cost factor data input file and output file. Keywords: Fortran, Cost estimates, Cost effectiveness, Economic analysis, Computer applications. (KR).
Download or read book Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide written by Department of Department of Defense and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Department of Defense The ability to generate reliable cost estimates is a critical function, necessary to support the Department of Defense capital programming process. Without this ability DoD is at risk of experiencing cost overruns, missed deadlines, and performance shortfalls-all recurring problems that our program assessments too often reveal. Furthermore, cost increases often mean that DoD cannot fund as many programs as intended or deliver them when promised. The methodology outlined in this guide is a compilation of best practices that federal cost estimating organizations and industry use to develop and maintain reliable cost estimates throughout the life of a DoD acquisition program. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read.

Download or read book Cost Estimating in the Department of Defense and Areas for Improvement written by Shannon McBride and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this Joint Applied Project was to investigate and provide a comprehensive overview of the current process of cost estimation, preparation of Independent Government Cost Estimates, and Technical Evaluation writing practices within the Army Materiel Command, U.S. Army, JM & L Acquisition Center, ARDEC and CECOM. The goal of this project was to identify and document not only the specific types of cost-estimation practices and reports, but also to show the relationships between the IGCE, the Cost Estimation Process, the Request for Proposal (RFP), and the Technical Evaluation. Our purpose was to highlight and prove that the cost-estimation process is the heart of the acquisition process, and that it merges and coordinates the other processes so that the government can obtain the "Best Value" on both its competitive source selections and noncompetitive acquisitions. The reader will come away with a new appreciation for the concept of "Cost as an Independent Variable" after reading this thesis. Treating cost as an independent variable helps to ensure that acquisitions do not go over budget or get wildly out of control. It also contributes to clear thinking and lessens the likelihood of groupthink or "going along with the crowd," regardless of the consequences. Good cost analysis leads to good cost avoidance or containment, and is a prudent mindset for program officials who are regulated by budgetary constraints and accountable to Congress, and ultimately to the people, for the money they spend. They have good reason to spend it wisely and effectively.
