Validation of the Algorithm for Base Inspection Costs for the Component Support Cost System (D160B).

Abstract

Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs is a program initiated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) in order to ensure that each Military Department gathers, tracks, and computes operating and support costs by weapon system. VAMOSC II is an Air Force management information system which is responsive to the OSD initiative. It uses information from existing Air Force data systems to satisfy both Air Force and OSD needs for certain weapon system operating and support (O&S) costs. At present, the VAMOSC II system comprises three subsystems: (1) The Weapon System Support Cost (WSSC) system (D160), which deals with aircraft, (2) The Communications - Electronics (C-E) system (D160A), which deals with ground communications - electronics equipment, (3) The Component Support Cost Subsystem (CSCS) (D160B), which deals with subsystems and components for aircraft. This report provides the verification and validation of the algorithm called 'Base Inspection Costs'. The costs of base inspection are the sum of direct labor costs expended in performing inspections and an allocated portion of base maintenance overhead costs.
