Validation of the Algorithm for Depot TCTO (Time Compliance Technical Orders) Material Costs for the Component Support Cost System (D160B).
Abstract
Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs (VAMOSC) 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 systems to satisfy both Air Force and OSD needs for certain weapon system operating and support (O&S) costs. This report provides the verification and validation of an algorithm called 'Depot TCTO Material Costs.' Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTOs) are 'directives issued to provide instructions to Air Force activities for accomplishing 'one-time' changes, modifications, or inspections of equipment, or installation of new equipment.' All TCTO material is provided in the form of kits. This algorithm simply aggregates the kit costs from another data system. The Depot TCTO Material Costs algorithm is defined and described in detail. This description includes identification of source data systems and files, and the calculation procedures currently implemented by the CSCS. A critique of the algorithm is provided as required by the contract.
