AN INDIVIDUAL SYSTEM/ORGANIZATION COST MODEL. VOLUME IV. REVIEW OF SELECTED APPLICATIONS.
Abstract
The paper describes the Individual System/Organization (ISOC) Model and eight cost applications. One of these applications used a model that can best be considered as a precursor to ISOC. The term 'ISOC Model' is used to refer to a basic computer program developed by the RAC Economics and Costing Department. To this basic program the analyst supplies the cost elements, equations, codes, and inputs appropriate to his costing problem. The basic program and the supplementary programming provided by the analyst constitute a specific ISOC model. After a general description of the ISOC Model the nature of the eight applications is discussed, including the novel features introduced in each application. In lieu of a detailed description of each model, a typical model is described for each of the three types or families into which applications may be categorized: aircraft system, missile system, and multiequipment organization. A brief discussion is then provided of the differences between specific models within a family and the typical model. Next, one specific model from each family is documented in detail. The paper concludes with a description of the more recent developments in the evolution of the ISOC Model and the uses that could be served. The paper purposely avoids a detailed description of programming changes. (Author)
