Parametric CERs (Cost Estimate Relationships) for Replenishment Repair Parts (Selected U.S. Army Helicopters and Combat Vehicles).

摘要

This research was undertaken to assess the feasibility of developing cost estimating relationships (CERs) based on data from the Army Operating and Support Management Information System (OSMIS). The long-range objective is to develop methods to determine total operating and support (O&S) costs within life-cycle cost analysis. The focus of this effort is on replenishment repair parts cost for selected U.S. Army air and ground systems. Replenishment repair parts are a key element in life-cycle cost, and after military personnel, they are one of the largest components of annual operating cost for a system. Six helicopters and five combat vehicles were available for a large number of active duty divisions in all fiscal years of interest. (KR)
