This book was released on 1980 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating and Support (O & S) costs for the V/STOL and Spruance class destroyers (DD963) are provided. These figures are compared to the figures presented to the DSARC at Milestone I. Annual operating and support costs of the Air Detachment are not included in this report. The costs growth reflected in both the V/STOL and DD963 class destroyer is due mainly to the rise in POL costs from $1.25 per gal. to $1.32 per gal., plus a slight rise in manpower requirements. The Spruance class destroyer was selected as the baseline due to similarities of most ship systems and size. It does not reflect the system being replaced. The V/STOL destroyer is a new concept to meet expanding commitments.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 47 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Military Departments and defense contractors have for some time been actively concerned about rising life cycle costs (LCC) of Defense weapon systems. Over the past two years, the Department of Defense (DoD) has placed new emphasis on examining the projected operating and support (O and S) costs of planned weapons and finding ways to reduce those costs. O and S cost analyses are now a major part of the cost review conducted at each weapon procurement decision meeting by the Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council (DSARC) and the DSARC's principal advisor on new system costs--the Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG). This report recommends guidelines for preparing estimates of the support investment (SI) and O and S costs of ship acquisition programs and presenting them to the DSARC. It provides a framework for objective comparison of SI and O and S costs of program, design, or support alternatives, using consistent methodologies and terminology. A general methodology for SI and O and S cost estimating is described, a standard cost element structure for ships is defined, and specific requirements for presentation of SI and O and S cost estimates to the DSARC are proposed. Standards for the presentation and documentation of these cost estimates are also recommended. These guidelines are intended to achieve consistent and effective preparation and documentation of SI and O and S cost estimates for major weapon systems, and to facilitate the DSARC's and the CAIG's examination of important SI and O and S cost issues.

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.

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 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).
Download or read book Operating and Support Cost Estimating Guide Sample Analysis Microwave Landing System at DSARC Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council III written by COST ANALYSIS IMPROVEMENT GROUP WASHINGTON D C. and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating and Support (O & S) costs for the Micro Wave Landing System (MLS) and the current Precision Approach Radar/Instrument Landing System (PAR/ILS) (baseline) are shown. These figures are compared to the figures presented to the DSARC at Milestone II. The force O & S costs are based on a three year delivery schedule plus 20 years of full force operation of 150 copies. The cost reduction reflects a drop in the number of support personnel by 3. This cost reduction occurred in spite of the rapid rise in energy costs. The automatic solid state MLS requires only about 66% of the energy of the existing PAR/ILS in spite of an added automatic communications capability.
