A Survey of O&S (Operating and Support) Cost Models.
Abstract
In Sep 1985, a contract was awarded to develop procedures to estimate outyear operating and support (O&S) costs for new weapon system. These procedures to be developed were to differ from existing O&S cost models in sensitivity to design decisions and how design decisions impact O&S costs. As task I of this effort, contractors were to review existing methodologies for estimating operating and support (O&S) costs of weapons systems. This report documents the team's efforts to date. Chapter 2 describes the approach used to reviewing existing methodologies. It also summarizes findings. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss the methodologies reviewed. Chapter 3 addresses Navy models while Chapter 4 discussed the other services models.
