POM (Program Objective Memorandum) FY-85 BP 1500 Cost Growth and Leadtime Adjustments: Research Results

摘要

This research, Phase IV of Contract F33615-81-C-5018 (see MCR TR-8104-3), was divided into three tasks: Recommend data sources for FY-85 costs and leadtimes for BP 1500 Federal Supply Classes (FSC). Recommend procedure for incorporating cost and leadtime adjustments in the FY-85 projected budget requirements. Recommend specific price and leadtime adjustments for each Federal Supply Class. The researchers examined cost and leadtime trends, by commodity, and developed factors to be used in refining the BP 1500 cost per flying hour estimates developed by the Logistics Management Institute's Aircraft Availability Model (AAM). In addition to developing factor values to represent projected cost and leadtime trends, the researchers identified sources of data which could be consistently used as part of the requirements estimating process.
