U.S. Marine Corps: Performance Pricing Model
Abstract
Headquarters, United States Marine Corps Installation and Logistics (I&L), is responsible for executing United States Marine Corps (USMC) logistics policy and management. One of its primary functions is to analyze the suitability and affordability of the annual budgets proposed by the three Marine Force (MARFOR) Commands. A major concern in achieving this is the proper resourcing and budgeting of Secondary Reparables and Consumables in the USMC. Several databases are used in the USMC's financial management, logistics, budget-building, and cost estimation processes. They are the Marine Corps Integrated Maintenance Management System (MIMMS), the Supported Activity Supply System (SASSY), and the Standard Accounting, Budget and Reporting System (SABRS). This thesis combines the data used by MIMMS and SASSY, in conjunction with the updated cost indices from SABRS, to improve fiscal year budget forecasts. The databases were merged and summarized by Table of Authorized Materiel Control Numbers and by MARFORs. Augmented with appropriate inventory data, this merged database forecasted FY2011 MARFOR budgets using best fit regressions. A key assumption was that the inventory levels were kept constant from the previous fiscal year. The final budget forecasts derived are to be used by I&L in its next Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System (PPBES) meeting.
