WEAPON SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS INDUSTRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (WSEIAC). COST- EFFECTIVENESS OPTIMIZATION.
Abstract
A discussion of optimization which amplifies the material in Volume II, Section IV is presented. Optimization principles, criteria and checklists, as well as a summary of various applicable techniques is included. A series of six examples are described covering a number of critical aspects of cost- effectiveness analysis is considerable detail. Treated in the examples are: (1) optimization of effectiveness based on reliability, maintainability, performance, and cost; (2) allocation of reliability requirements among subsystems; (3) payload allocation among three subsystems based on a fixed weight constraint; (4) determination of best checkout routine for a limited pre- launch test; (5) optimization of availability for a complex system; and (6) trade-off study between site hardening and dispersal for a missile system.
