Validation of the Algorithms for Depot Support General, Labor, Direct Material, and 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. This report provides the verification and validation of four of the algorithms. All four are concerned with depot level, on-equipment aircraft repair. The first algorithm is called Depot Support General Costs. It estimates the cost of direct labor for Support General maintenance actions at the depot level for each combination of depot and MDS. The other three algorithms all address on-equipment repairs at the depot level, and provide output separately for each combination of depot, MDS, and Work Unit Code (WUC). The Depot Labor Costs algorithm estimates direct labor costs. Depot Direct Material Costs estimates direct material costs. Depot Other Costs is (apparently) intended to capture all other costs at the depot level associated with the same repair actions. For the four depot level on-equipment repair algorithms, Information Spectrum identified several deficiencies.
