Translation of the LCC-2 Life Cycle Cost Model to Comply with the CAIG Approved Cost Element Structure.
Abstract
This modification of the LCC-2 life cycle cost model cost element structure has separated acquisition costs from O&S costs, and by then adding missing ownership cost elements, has transformed the model into compliance with the Secretary of Defense Cost Analysis Improvement Group's (OSD/CAIG) standard cost element structure for aircraft systems. The modification of the software code to implement the modified cost element structure will once again allow the extensive use of the model for life cycle cost analysis. The modification was accomplished through a comparison of the LCC-2 cost elements with the CAIG approved cost elements and modifying the LCC-2 cost estimating relationships, which produce the cost elements, so as to generate the approved cost elements. Additionally, new cost estimating relationships were devised to supply output for cost elements not previously addressed by the LCC-2 model. Although the model was originally developed for use in the life cycle of avionics systems, the model should be applicable to other aircraft subsystems as well.
