VARIABLE COSTS OF ARMY EQUIPMENT OPERATION,
Abstract
Thie study was initiated by the Board of Inquiry on the Army Logistic System to provide a method for balancing unit training requirements with funds required to recover the cost of parts and fuel consumed by equipment used in training. The inadequacy of methods for the costing of parts and fuel consumed led on occasion to a discrepancy between the training program required of operating units and funds provided. No really adequate methods are in use for estimating parts cost for training or for any other purpose. Devices relating parts costs to fuel consumed did not prove accurate. In the unit training areas the fiscal-account structure is oriented toward men and not equipment. (Author)
