An Investigative Analysis of the NSN-WUC (National Stock Number-Work Unit Code) Cross-Reference Dictionary 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. A comprehensive, independent analysis of the accuracy, logical validity, and data integrity of the CSCS has been undertaken and is reported here. This volume documents the conducted research. One of the more critical parts of the CSCS logic is the development of the NSN/WUC cross reference dictionary. This dictionary associates the costs collected at base maintenance level in WUC terms, with base supply and depot maintenance which are collected in NSN terms. Initial research reported in this volume revealed an existing body of automated and manual procedures for initialization, verification, and maintenance of the NSN-WUC Cross Reference Dictionary. The remainder of the research effort reported here and the development recommendations presented in this report were based, and to the maximum feasible extent, on these existing resources consistent with the VAMOSC philosophy.
