A Cost Estimation Model for Commander Naval Air Forces Paicifc's TACAIR F/A-18S Aviation Depot Level Repair Costs

Abstract

The goal of this thesis is to develop a model that Commander Naval Air Forces Pacific (CNAP) can use to estimate future TACAIR F/A- 18 Aviation Depot Level Repair (AVDLR) costs. The thesis is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the methodology used to create a cost estimation model. The second and third sections provide the results of the model's outcomes and compares and analyzes those results to the actual results. The model's estimate was 19% below Fiscal Year 2001's actual costs. This shortfall% was caused by a 27% increase in Navy C model's AVDLR costs, which is more than twice their average annual cost increase. Since Navy C models represent over 60% of CNAP's total TACAIR F/A-18 AVDLR costs, this unexpected increase in costs is the major contributor to the model's 19% difference from its estimate.
