Cost Benefit Analysis for the United States Navy's Closed Circuit Television System
Abstract
This thesis provides insight and a possible solution for improving the United States Navy's Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) System and training tape system. The Department of Defense (DOD), and specifically, the United States Navy, can incorporate commercial technologies that would improve the quality of life of its members, the quality of its shipboard training, and reduce the cost of providing CCTV support to deployed personnel. The Office of Management and Budget (0MB) circulars A-76 and A-94 were used as guidelines to study potential cost savings and reduction measures. Data collection provided in this study consisted of internet and electronic queries, personal interviews, and telephone correspondences. Results indicated that consolidating DOD media commands and converting to a Digital Video Disc (DVD) technology could reduce overall costs to the Navy and improve product quality. The Navy should validate these exploratory findings and consider implementing the following: consolidate television weekly (TW) and duplication facility (DUPFAC) services, replace existing 8mm players with commercial DVD players, and acquire future recorded media movies and training films on DVD.
