Validation of the Algorithm for Depot TCTO Labor 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 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 managment 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. The Component Support Cost System (CSCS), one of 3 subsystems, of VAMOSC II gathers and computes support costs by assembly/subassembly and relates those costs back to the end item or weapon system. The CSCS receives inputs from 15 Air Force data systems. At the heart of the CSCS is a set of 30 algorithms for estimation or allocation of costs. This report provides the verification and validation of the algorithm called Depot TCTO Labor Costs. The costs of direct labor performed in maintenance of aircraft is a major component of support costs. The CSCS algorithm for Depot TCTO Labor Cost calculates and presents depot TCTO labor costs separately from other direct labor costs. For the Depot TCTO Labor Cost algorithm, all aspects are affirmed. It is recommended that the algorithm be retained in its present form.
