Business Planning Model User's Guide
Abstract
Welcome to the Belvoir Business Planning Model (BPM). This model was developed to provide an efficient means of collecting and analyzing data concerning future revenue projections and spending plans. The overall idea of this model is to balance the estimated costs against the available revenue. This balancing is available at any appropriate level of analysis: at the FOE/Function level; at the Laboratory/Directorate level; and at the Center level. In general, the model tries to estimate most non-salary personnel related expenses, based upon the amount of the government payroll. It uses multiplier factors for such things as travel & transportation costs rather than having the user input these costs specifically. This frees the user from having to estimate them manually and enhances the ability to perform rapid what if analyses. Changes in related expenses due to simple changes in revenue or personnel projections can be quickly recalculated rather than having to completely reevaluate and reenter the other costs.
