HARDMAN Life Cycle Cost Methods: Recommendations,

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to present recommendations, based on this research, for the kinds of models and model systems the Navy should develop to support the acquisition process. A brief review of the reasons for the recommendations is presented here, but the reader is referred to earlier work for detailed rationale. Throughout the research effort, the model system used to study various aspects of the problem has been tailored to shipboard electronics systems. One of the questions that must be answered, therefore, is what equipment types and operating environments must be modeled separately. Different, but related problems have to do with the number of maintenance echelons and equipment indenture levels that must be modeled--and whether these questions are related to deployment or environment equipment type.
