The Billet Cost Model System,
Abstract
The Billet Cost Model System consists of three models which estimate the marginal economic cost of establishing and operating a billet in the U.S. Navy. Three types of labor are covered by the three models: enlisted, officer and civil service. Within each of these models, a billet is defined as the intersection of a paygrade and occupational group. The latter is at the level of rating for enlisted personnel, designator community for officers and functional occupational group (FOG) for civil servants. The Enlisted Billet Cost Model has been produced in one form or another for about fifteen years. In the last four years the system was expanded to include, first, a civil service model and then an officer model. A reserve billet cost model was produced but has never been updated and is not included here. This report describes a completely revised system of models from those that have appeared earlier. The cost elements have been restructured, the cost equations redefined and the reporting formats altered significantly from earlier versions. Hereafter, it is intended that the data sets will be updated each year, but the models remain as documented in this volume.
