Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG), which is responsible for policy and guidance for cost analysis in the Department of Defense, issued a memorandum which contained an operating and support cost element structure (CES) for tactical air-launched missiles, to be used in all Defense System Acquisition Review Council reviews and other missile cost analyses. Accordingly, the Resource Analysis Group (Op-96D), which is responsible for independent cost analysis within the Navy, tasked Administrative Sciences Corporation to undertake a study. The CES which was developed contains sixteen cost elements which define and encompass the same activities described in the CAIG memorandum. Each cost element is discussed in detail in the body of this report. All pertinent data which was collected during the study is included, as well as examples of Navy documents which can be used for cost estimating in the future. Each source is identified by a point of contact and a DOD telephone number. All explanatory variables which were employed in the study, whether used in a cost- estimating relationship or not, are also included.

This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides parametric O&S cost models for future US Navy aircraft acquisition programs based on physical and performance parameters. The proposed parametric cost models provide decision makers with a tool for developing rough-order-of-magnitude annual O&S cost estimates for future US Navy aircraft acquisition programs. The historic aircraft cost data was provided by the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA) in a spreadsheet format and the data were extracted from the Navy Visibility and Maintenance of Operating and Support Cost (VAMOSC) data warehouse. After validating the assumption that the average annual O&S cost for any aircraft type/model/series is constant from year to year, cost estimating relationships are developed. The first model developed is based on multivariate regression. In this case, forward stepwise regression was used to find the model with the best fit. Since the multivariate regression model turns out to be impractical, having more than 30 variables in the equation, a tree-based model is presented as an alternative. Additionally, single variable cost estimating relationships are formulated based on the physical and performance parameters length, weight, and thrust.
Download or read book Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide Sample Analysis Navy Aircraft at DSARC I written by COST ANALYSIS IMPROVEMENT GROUP WASHINGTON D C. and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following sample of a CAIG(Cost Analysis Improvement Group) Operating and Support Cost Estimate Report covering a hypothetical case has been developed to further assist the cost analyst in the preparation of cost estimating reports submitted to the DSARC and CAIG during the acquisition process of a new weapon system. The sample is intended to show an example of how Operating and Support Costs can be developed for CAIG review with available data bases and one example of an appropriate format for presentation of cost estimates. The existing A-7E data base was used only to illustrate the need to relate an estimate to an existing similar system and to ensure a constant relationship between values and the Cost Element Structure. Each case should address that data which is the most complete and accurate for its purposes. The level of detail depicted in this example may be greater than that which is available or appropriate to a specific case.
Download or read book Naval Aircraft Operating and Support Cost Estimating Model FY77 Revision written by ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES CORP FALLS CHURCH VA. and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fiscal 1974, Administrative Science Corp. developed a parametric cost-estimating model which has been updated and documented several times and used to support numerous Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council (DSARC) reviews as well as other cost reviews. This report provides a detailed documentation of the cost-estimating relationships (CER's) developed from FY77 data. In addition, the report has been significantly enhanced in order to serve as a handbook and training aid for Op-96D aircraft analysts. For each cost element in the structure, this report provides: (1) a definition; (2) discussion of the definition and other aspects of how, where, and why these costs are incurred, points of contact including organizational codes and telephone numbers, historical data, and sources for planning data; (3) cost-estimating relationship, including all computational procedures, regression statistics for the CER, and the data base; (4) an alternative CER (in many cases) with the same detail as above; and, (5) an example calculation.

Download or read book An Operating and Support Cost Model for Aircraft Carriers and Surface Combatants written by Henry L. Eskew and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is in two parts. Part I details the development and implementation of an operating and support cost model for aircraft carriers and surface combatants. Twenty-three O and S cost elements were identified and defined, with close adherence being maintained to the draft CAIG Operating and Support Cost Development Guide for Naval Ships, the Navy Resource Model (NARM), and the work of the Visibility and Management of Support Costs (VAMOSC) Study Group. Cost data were obtained from three principal sources: Navy Cost Information System (NCIS), NARM Program Factors, and the Center for Naval Analyses' SOCER Study. Procedures consisting of parametric cost-estimating relationships, cost factors and 'thruput' estimates were developed for the full set of cost elements. Those procedures were incorporated into an automated model which was then used to estimate annual O and S costs for the DD-963 and the FFG-7. Part II of the report summarizes all the work accomplished under the contract and provides a listing of all technical reports submitted. (Author).

Book excerpt: The objective of this special study was to review the spectrum of available cost models and cost studies addressing strategic missiles, evaluate the elements of cost pertaining to operation and support, establish a comprehensive cost element structure to serve as both a standard or checklist in accomplishing cost estimates and the basis from which to develop Air Force cost factors. And finally, actually develop operations and support cost factors for Air Force strategic missiles and make them available to the cost community through publication in AFR 173-13. This paper was presented at the Annual DOD Cost Analysis Symposium.
