Cost Effectiveness Program Plan for Joint Tactical Communications, Volume III. Life Cycle Costing. Appendix E. Transportation Cost of Spares and Repair Parts.

摘要

The purpose of the appendix is to present an equation for transportation costs which is sensitive to the weight of the item, the distance traveled and the postulated logistic support concept. The equation is obtained by mathematically combining two models (a) the transportation paths that the spares and failed/repaired items traverse and (b) the probabilities or percentages associated with each of four possible transportation paths. This cost element is concerned only with the transportation of spares, repair parts and failed/repaired items during the operation and support phase of the life cycle of the TRI-TAC systems.
