USAF Military Personnel Costing: Problems and Approaches.

Abstract

This report attempts to identify the most pressing Air Force military personnel costing problems and to specify the prerequisite needs of Air Force cost analysts in order to solve them. A survey was made to identify costing approaches and techniques to satisfy the needs. These were then examined to assess their utility in developing standardized costing techniques and standard cost parameters for Air Force military personnel. The examination revealed ways in which planned application restricts the choice of methods, and the existence of widespread disagreements concerning basic definitions and objectives.
