Validation of the Algorithm For Depot Material Management Overhead 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. 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 the verification and validation of the CSCS algorithm titled 'Depot Material Management Overhead Costs.' This algorithm addresses the costs of acquiring, managing, and storing material at the depot. The algorithm applies a fixed percentage (21.7%) to the sum of all base and depot costs calculated by the CSCS for materials, exchangeable repairs, modifications, or condemnation spares. For the Depot Material Management Overhead Cost algorithm, all aspects are affirmed. Information Spectrum recommends that it be retained in its present form.
