COST EVALUATION AND COST ESTIMATING FOR SHIPBOARD ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. VOLUME I. COST EVALUATIONS OF SELECTED EQUIPMENTS.

Abstract

This final report presents the results of a program undertaken: (1) to apply cost-of-ownership procedures, developed under a previous contract, to thirteen Navy shipboard electronic equipments; and (2) to develop a procedure for predicting cost of ownership, by cost category, of electronic equipments that have not yet been deployed. The cost categories used are associated with acquisition, with operation and maintenance throughout a specific lifetime, and with disposal. The cost of ownership of the selected equipments was calculated from historical contract data and the Navy Maintenance Data Collection System (MDCS), which also provided the basis for operational measures. A computer program was used to process raw cost and MDCS data and to print the results in a standard format. In the development of cost-estimating relationships (CER's) to predict ownership costs, the same categories as those used in the cost-analysis program were employed. Volume I of this report covers the evaluation of cost and operational measures for selected equipments. (Author)
