U.S. Air Force Visibility and Management of Operating and Support Costs (VAMOSC) Program Task Analysis Report.

Abstract

The Air Force Visibility and Management of Operating and Support costs (VAMOSC) Program, HQ AFLC/MML(VAMOSC), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the Office of Primary Responsibility for the VAMOSC data system within the Air Force. It is tasked with establishing an automated, historical data base for operating and support (O&S) costs for aircraft weapon systems, components, and ground communication-electronics equipment. The present VAMOSC Program comprises three subsystems: the Weapons Systems Support Cost (WSCS), and the Ground Communications-Electronics (C-E) Systems. The VAMOSC Program is a relatively new O&S cost-data resource. The data are to be used by the Air Force logistics and cost communities to perform life-cycle analyses, trade-off analyses, system comparisons, and similar studies. The first step in the development of the computer-based training (CBT) modules was to conduct a task analysis. Fourteen processes were identified in the Statement of Work (SOW) as areas in which VAMOSC data might have application. The SOW specified that a task analysis be conducted for each process, with an Information Processing Analysis method being used to obtain the required information.
