Life-Cycle Cost Database Design and Sample Data Development.
Abstract
This report documents the first two phases of a study to design a Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) database that will provide cost-effective procedures for collecting and presenting maintenance and repair (M&R) data for Army facilities. The first two phases of the study were (1) problem definition and prior work analysis, and (2) data collection feasibility evaluation. Installation and District designers/planners require different levels of M&R data than OCE planners to do their work most effectively. Thus, two databases with different levels of detail are required. Collection of data could be done in two ways: (1) implementing a one-time data collection program at eight installations to collect M&R information across age groups of buildings and types of construction, or (2) analyzing Integrated Facilities System (IFS) tapes from a sample group of installations. Because of problems in both of these methods, it was determined tht the best means of obtaining data for a database at the present time is by contract, using engineered performance standards taken from Army publications.
