Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAVSEA Cost Estimating Handbook (2005) *Printed in Black and White to reduce cost* Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM or NAVSEA) explains how a NAVSEA cost estimate is an assemblage of separate, distinct, and subordinate parts and each subordinate part is treated as a whole to be separated into its elements for examination, modification, and/or updating before becoming a part of a total estimate. The NAVSEA cost estimating process is at once analytical and synthesizing in nature using established methods and valid data, to estimate the future costs of a program, based on what is known today. It is an organized approach designed to accurately calculate the future costs of ships, submarines, and weapons systems. The management of a cost estimate involves continually updating the estimate with actual data as they become available, revising the estimate to reflect changes, and analyzing differences between estimated and actual costs-for example, using data from a reliable earned value management (EVM) system. Anyone that has ever managed a project knows the value of a good cost estimate.The ability to generate reliable cost estimates is a critical function, necessary to support the NAVSEA capital programming process. Without this ability NAVSEA is at risk of experiencing cost overruns, missed deadlines, and performance shortfalls-all recurring problems that program assessments too often reveal. Furthermore, cost increases often mean that NAVSEA 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 NAVSEA acquisition program.

Download or read book Assessment of Surface Ship Maintenance Requirements written by Robert Button and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is likely to face years of declining resources as the U.S. government grapples with fiscal challenges. These challenges affect every account, including those associated with surface ship maintenance and operations. At the same time, there has been widespread concern that surface ship materiel readiness is declining due to a high pace of operations and a sense that there have been many instances of deferred maintenance. The need to balance fiscal reality and a continued need for ready ships is likely to be an ongoing challenge. At the request of the Assessment Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, this report: (1) determines the impact on long-term fleet readiness, Operational Availability (Ao), and Expected Service Life (ESL) caused by near-term reductions in Operations and Maintenance (O&M) accounts; (2) recommends potential strategies to minimize negative impacts to Ao and ESL and maintain the largest, most capable fleet possible; (3) develops a maintenance requirement concept, per ship class, that supports ESL, but allows for some risk within the maintenance strategy; and (4) defines the risks to Ao and ESL resulting from the new requirement. The methodology could be applicable to multiple ship classes.
Download or read book A Parametric Cost Model for Estimating Acquisition Costs of Conventional U S Navy Surface Ships written by Kirk J. Loftus and published by . This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When attempting to predict the acquisition costs of U.S. Navy surface ships, current models cannot produce a repeatable answer when the details of the acquisition program are not well defined. This thesis formulates a parametric model that predicts the average procurement cost of a conventional U.S. Navy surface ship based upon known (or assumed) physical and performance characteristics. The source data for the cost model is obtained from U.S. Weapons Systems Costs, a tabulation of annual procurement costs for major system programs, published by Data Search Associates. Standard regression techniques return cost estimating relationships able to predict average procurement cost from ship light displacement, ship overall length, ship propulsion shaft horsepower or number of propulsion engines. The formulated parametric cost model is approximate and appropriate only for rough order of magnitude studies, but can be used by the DoD cost community to produce justifiable estimates when other models do not have sufficient information to generate an answer.

Download or read book Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government written by United States Government Accountability Office and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.

Book excerpt: This thesis is part of a joint research project between stndents of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA and the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright- Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, OH. The purpose of the research is to establish working definitions for commonly used contracting and acquisition terms and phrases. Twenty-five terms were selected from a master list compiled by previous researchers. Contracting literature and regulations were researched to identify published definitions. The published definitions were used to develop a synthesized definition for each of the 25 terms. The synthesized definitions were submitted to contracting professionals for terms. The acceptability of proposed definitions was based upon consensus and the input from respondents was used to develop a refined definition.
Download or read book A Study of Ship Acquisition Cost Estimating in the Naval Sea Systems Command Executive Summary written by INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ASSOCIATES INC WASHINGTON DC. and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a report about cost estimating in naval procurement and the ability of Navy estimators, particularly in the Naval Sea Systems Command, to adequately forecast required program funding for ship construction and conversion. It is also an attempt to carefully ascertain where improvements can be made. It is recognized that the cost estimating problem is extremely complex and, if at all possible, improvements should be made. Obviously, the national interest is at the heart of the matter. It is believed that specific action can be taken by NAVSEA to improve its capability and inasmuch as other government and industrial organizations interact in procurement activities so profoundly, areas are pointed to where NAVSEA may want to suggest complementary actions by organizations outside its control. This document is a summary of a much longer Final Report which examines these important issues in depth. To the extent a short summary can analyze complex problems and outline proposed solutions, this document addresses that objective. (Author).
Download or read book A Parametric Cost Model for Estimating Operating and Support Costs of U S Navy Non Nuclear Surface Ships written by James M. Brandt and published by . This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With few effective decision-making tools to assess the affordability of major weapon systems, management of total ownership costs is continually misunderstood. Cost analysis provides a quick and reliable assessment of affordability. Because there is no standardized method for calculating reliable estimates of operating and support (O&S) costs (the principal component of total ownership cost), this thesis formulates a parametric cost model which can be used to determine the annual O&S costs of U.S. Navy (non-nuclear) surface ships based on known (or assumed) physical characteristics and manpower expectations. Source data for the cost model is obtained from the Navy Visibility and Management of O&S Costs (VAMOSC) database, a historical cost database maintained by the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA). Through standard regression and data analysis techniques, cost estimating relationships are developed for three major cost drivers: ship light displacement, ship overall length, and ship manpower. The formulated parametric cost model is a top-level and fairly reliable representation of average annual O&S cost, and it can be used by the DOD cost community to perform component cost analyses or independent cost estimates.
