Cost Impact Investigation of AFLC Unfunded Type I (Contractor) Training

摘要

This research was initially designed to investigate the cost impact on AFLC imposed by the shortage of Air Training Command (ATC) Type 1 training funds in FY79. Specifically, the research objective was to compare costs incurred by AFLC as a result of implementing continued contractor support or Contractor Engineering Technical Services for programs which could not be supported by ATC funded Type 1 training. It was intended that cost data be compiled from ATC and AFLC to (1) determine if there exists a statistical relationship between the estimated cost of unfunded Type 1 training and the cost of the above alternatives when used as a result of no training; and (2) compare training costs with alternative costs to determine the cost effectiveness to the Air Force of implementing alternatives compared to funding Type 1 training. The study encountered significant problems, however, in attempting to retrieve alternative cost data from the AFLC Air Logistics Centers. The study was then diverted to investigating these problems and relating the research objective to the FY80 funding situation. An explanation of the proposed statistical methodology and application to hypothetical data is provided in the Appendix to support future research in this area. (Author)
