NAVY COST MODEL

Abstract

The purpose of this briefing is to present a description of the preliminary work on a Navy cost model. This cost model is to be used for rapid cost estimating of alternative forces for use in cost-effectiveness studies and for projecting approximate budget levels. In the initial development of this model, a determination was made as to the kinds of output the model should have. In general, these outputs are to be compatible with those of the OSD programming system. The model is structured to simulate Navy processes in a simplified manner, the structure being based on a study of the organization, policies, and procedures of the Navy. Finally, highly summarized statements of research projects are presented for the over-all model development work.
