Validation of the Algorithm for Depot TCTO other 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. 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 an algorithm called Depot TCTO Other Costs. Some TCTO actions are identified as modifications. Existing Air Force data systems identify depot other costs for modifications directly, and the CSCS uses these values. A critique of the algorithm is provided as required by the contract. For the Depot TCTO Other Cost algorithm, all aspects are affirmed. It is recommended that the algorithm be retained in its present form.
