Defense Logistics Agency Laboratory Testing Return on Investment Model

Abstract

This report represents an initial effort to develop a sound approach for measuring DLA's return on its investment in its laboratory testing program. It provides a way of measuring both investment (costs incurred) and quantitative indicators of return (savings and costs avoided) broken down by supply center and in-house laboratory. It also provides initial measures of investment and return based upon data for FY 92. Investment is estimated to be about $12 million. Quantitative estimates of return are $36 million. Qualitative indicators of return are far larger. Thus, the total return on investment in laboratory testing is highly favorable. Testing, Laboratories, Costs, Savings.
