Cost Implications of Hardware Manpower Balance. Phase II - Unit Sustainment Manpower cost Methodology.
Abstract
Management Consulting & Research, Inc. (MCR) has developed analytical tools to assist in evaluating weapon system manpower requirements. The tools are: a definition for analyzing weapon system unit manpower requirements in terms of their high-cost/critical occupations; and a methodology for costing weapon system unit manpower which reveals occupation- and pay grade-specific cost relationships of the weapon system unit manpower requirements. This report documents the following results: The application of the definition of high-cost/critical occupations, which is a refinement of the Phase I definition. A description of the unit sustainment manpower cost methodology, which includes a refinement of the initial unit methodology. The unit sustainment manpower cost data for selected weapon systems that refines the initial unit test data. A description and demonstration of the unit manpower life cycle cost methodology which includes initial unit and unit sustainment cost methodologies. The application of the analytical tools in the analysis of weapon system manpower requirements. The definition and cost methodology are demonstrated using unit manpower for three major weapon systems: the Army M-1 tank, the Navy LAMPS Mk III helicopter system, and the Air Force ground launched cruise missile.
