A Computer Model for Economic Analysis of Army Aircraft RAM Improvement Proposals.
Abstract
The report has been prepared for presentation to the Joint AMC/TRADOC RAM Seminar scheduled for 4th Quarter, FY 1974, at Ft. Lee, Virginia. AR 702-3, Army Material Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM), 22 March 73 places increased emphasis on the cost impact of RAM efforts. This division was invited by the seminar sponsors to deliver a presentation on an economic analysis model developed here and to discuss how it could be applied to RAM cost studies. This report is in response to this request. A computer model is presented for preparing the cost trade off studies of RAM efforts required by AR 702-3. The model is specifically directed to RAM efforts involving Army aircraft. It determines the total life cycle cost impact of a RAM effort and pertinent RAM parameters. It is a modification of the economic analysis model mentioned above and is a preliminary effort to combine the methodologies of cost analysis and product assurance. (Author)
