Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force has been under enormous pressure to reduce depot maintenance costs for weapon and support systems. To do this efficiently and effectively, requires a thorough knowledge of the cost of repairs to the component level. This knowledge enables the Air Force to: make sound judgments with respect to repair sourcing, determine the cost effectiveness of repair processes, justify continued expenditures for organic repair, and produce accurate comparative data. While the Air Force has made some progress in improving its capabilities in this area, it has yet to fully implement necessary procedural and system reforms. The Air Force's ability to trace costs to individual systems and components is extremely limited due to the outmoded costing systems in use at its Air Logistics Centers. This paper investigates the difficulties in determining the actual costs of performing repairs on systems and components, and makes recommendations on methods, procedures, and systems to improve the accuracy of repair costing.

Download or read book Transfer Pricing for Air Force Depot Level Reparables written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force implemented stock funding to manage most depot level reparables (DLRs) in FY 1992. The Air Force Working Capital Fund charges customers-wings and higher-level organizations in major commands and repair activities in air logistics centers-for their purchases of serviceable DLRs, pays customers for the return of items needing repair or replacement, and purchases depot-level repair and replacements. The introduction of stock funding for DLRs gave customer commands responsibility for obtaining budgets to purchase DLR repairs and replacements. These budgets were formerly the responsibility of the Air Force Materiel Command, and DLRs were supplied to customers free of charge. This market-like system is intended to provide incentives for making cost-effective repair decisions at the local level. The establishment of transfer prices for DLRs has increased customer awareness of support system costs, and customers have increased utilization of local repair options to economize on their operations and maintenance funds. However, the influence of DLR prices extends beyond local execution decisions to long-run strategic decisions made by customer commands and the Air Staff.

Download or read book Budget Estimating Relationships for Depot level Reparables in the Air Force Flying Hour Program written by Gregory G. Hildebrandt and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Budget estimating relationships (BERs) for flying depot-level reparables (DLRs) explain the direct effect of specified variables on obligated funds associated with spare parts that directly support the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Flying Hour Program. In FY02, net sales of DLRs to Air Force commands hit historic highs. To provide the Air Force Cost Analysis Improvement Group with a tool to better understand the commands-- budgetary submissions, we develop several explanatory BERs to understand why flying DLRs are at their particular levels. Using longitudinal regression statistical methods, we explain the historical net sales of flying DLRs using estimating models that relate net sales to the contemporaneous values of aircraft characteristics, operational tempo, and time-related variables. This is but one part of a larger project to develop better estimating methods for use by the acquisition community and to examine the impact of Air Force and DoD policies on weapon system costs. The findings will also be of interest to those in the national security community who are involved in analyzing alternative military postures, and to members of the aircraft industry's analytical community.

Download or read book Missing Depot Level Reparables in Air Force Depot Maintenance Repair written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force has not resolved all problems since the implementation of stock funding for depot level reparables (DLRs). This paper explores one of those problem areas that directly impacts depot maintenance. The depots are impacted because of legitimate actions taken by base maintenance and supply activities. Air Force depots currently are paying to replace DLRs missing from larger DLRs which were returned to the depots by base activities. The paper discusses how this problem is caused by a broken process which was not corrected when the Air Force implemented stock funding for DLRs. Further potential solutions for this problem are provided. This problem can and should be resolved as quickly as possible.
Download or read book Estimating Aircraft Depot Maintenance Costs written by Kenneth E. Marks and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a series of parametric equations for use in estimating the depot maintenance cost of new Air Force aircraft, particularly for the five major maintenance categories: airframe rework, engine overhaul, airframe component repair, engine component and accessory repair, and avionics component repair. The equations are intended to provide cost estimates for Defense Systems Acquisition Review Council Milestone II, at which point some design details of major aircraft subsystems (airframe, engine, avionics) are available. The report presents a single set of equations that are the most representative and applicable to the widest range of estimating situations, but presents alternative equations and supporting data and analyses for use by the interested reader.

Download or read book When Internal Transfer Prices and Costs Differ written by Frank A. Camm and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1993 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, Air Force users did not pay for components repaired by Air Force depots. Now they do. In November 1989, Defense Management Report Decision (DMRD) 904 mandated that the Air Force apply stock funding to the management of depot-level reparables (DLRs). To use such a fund, the Air Force must establish a system of internal transfer prices for depot services. This system can artificially inflate the cost of depot repairs, creating the erroneous impression that base-level repairs are less expensive. This report examines the effect the internal transfer pricing system has had on the decisions officials in the Air Force's major commands have made with regard to screening F-16 aviation components. An appendix provides summary information on three costing and pricing methods that can be used to support more effective internal transfer pricing.
