Economic Analysis of Selected Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment from the U.S. Army Communications Command Preferred Items List.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a two-month study for the U.S. Army Electronics Command (USAECOM), Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, and the U.S. Army Communications Command (USACC), Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. The study represents the second phase of an anticipated five-phase program to evaluate the overall cost effectiveness of standardizing Test Measurement and Diagnostic Equipment (TMDE) of the USACC Preferred Items List (PIL). The five proposed phases of the program are: (1) Development of a TMDE life cycle cost (LCC) estimation methodology and selection of three PIL TMDE for detailed economic analysis; (2) Determination of the availability of data required to conduct the economic analysis of the three selected TMDE; (3) Conduct of the economic analysis of the selected TMDE; (4) Development of a methodology for evaluating the economic impact of the complete PIL, based upon the results of Phases 1, 2, and 3; (5) Evaluation of the economic impact of the complete PIL, using the methodology developed during Phase 4.
