Validation of the Algorithms for Base Exchangeable Repair Costs (Engine) and Base Exchangeable Modification Costs (Engine) 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. The Component Support Cost System (CSCS) of VAMOSC II gathers and computes support costs by assembly/subassembly and relates those costs back to the end item or weapon system. This report provides in one cover the validation of two algorithms, called Base Exchangeable Repair Costs (Engine) and Base Exchangeable Modification Costs (Engine). The two are combined in one report because of the similarity of the subject matter and the computations processes. Engines are returned to the depot for maintenance when the work is beyond the capability of the base. At the depot the engines may be repaired or modified (or both). This report affirms the basic methodology for developing base exchangeable repair and modification costs for engines.
