Value Engineering Management Information System and the Operation and Support Cost Reduction Database.

Abstract

The Value Engineering (VE)/Operating and Support Cost Reduction (OSCR) Office of the Industrial Operations Division (IOD), Systems Engineering and Production Directorate (SEPD), Research, Development, and Engineering Center (RDEC), US Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) is responsible for performing system engineering cost analyses for weapon systems from design through full scale production. This effort includes evaluating reported cost analyses and performing appropriate- modifications to information systems. This information is transferred monthly to the US Army Materiel Command (AMC) Headquarters. Reporting requirement changes have resulted in the modification of the operational information system, and the development and integration of an upgraded information system for tracking VE and OSCR cost analyses. Data validation between the operational information system and the upgraded information system was required during development of the upgraded information system software package.
