Validation of the Detroit Diesel Allison Logistic Support Cost Model (Program OS 590).

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) is genuinely concerned about Operation and Support Costs (O/S) during the early stages of the aquisition process. An area of particular interest to the Air Force Aero Propulsion laboratory (AFAPL) was the validation of Detroit Diesel Allison's O/S cost model, OS590. This study was designed to assist the AFAPL in determining O/S costs for future advanced high technology turbine engines. The results of this research include the following findings: (a) input data for OS590 within the scope of this effort was available from Air Force sources; (b) OS590 produced valid O/S costs; (c) OS590 was sensitive to selected input parameters; and (d) the Directorate of Propulsion YZLR reviewed and agreed that OS590 was complete.
