Validation of the Data Sources and Processes of the VAMOSC (Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs) II 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. 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. CSCS replaces the Logistic Support Cost (LSC) model of K051 (AFLCR 400-49) for aircraft and engines. This report also provides a vehicle for presentation of an analysis of the survey of CSCS users. Finally, the project engendered several recommendations which relate to the Component Support Cost System as a whole, rather than to any particular algorithm. They are provided here.
