AN INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM/ORGANIZATION COST MODEL. VOLUME 1. CONCEPT AND APPLICATION
Abstract
The Individual System/Organization Cost (ISOC) Model was devised for the rapid costing of a large number of alternative systems or organizations. The ISOC Model is a flexible IBM 7040 FORTRAN IV computer framework to which a variety of individual system or organization cost models may be adapted for use in cost studies requiring numerous calculations that cannot be performed conveniently by hand. This paper is an introduction to the ISOC Model. The basic features of the model and the general procedures for its operation are described. An example is provided on the adaptation of a specific cost model, the surveillance Aircraft System Cost Model, to the computer framework of the ISOC Model. Fictitious data values for two hypothetical surveillance-aircraft systems illustrate procedures for translating data requirements for a specific cost model into a form usable in the ISOC Model. In actual practice the configuration of the ISOC Model will vary according to the costing problem to which it is applied.
