|
| Authors:
Robert Perry; Giles K. Smith; Alvin J. Harman; Susan Henrichsen; RAND CORP SANTA MONICA CALIF
|
| Notwithstanding determined efforts during the 1960s to improve major system acquisitions, the typical program exhibited an average cost growth of about 40%, a schedule slip of about 15%, and 30% or 40% system performance deviation from original specifications. Cost growth could be anticipated by improving the cost estimation process and incorporating an assessment of the technical advance sought in the program. However, such an achievement would not greatly improve the ... |

|
| The merits of life cycle costing (LCC) as a method of procurement by the Departments of Defense and Army are noted. The logic of LCC is appealing, but after years of effort, only a handful of LCC contracts have been awarded by the Army. The study investigates the current status of LCC procurement in the Army. The underlying deterrents responsible for the retardation of the LCC program are identified and ... |

| A model is developed for relating continuous review inventory policies for repair parts to system availability. The system consists of S identical unit systems, each of which is a series of k-out-of-n structures. Unit system states are zero or one. An optimal cannibalization policy is assumed. Under this assumption the number of unit systems up is always the maximum possible for any given vector of backorders for the N part ... |

| Cost-estimating relations were developed for several classes of military engines and transmissions using linear regression techniques. Engines and transmissions were stratified into several basic design classes to ensure sample homogeneity. In general the CERs developed provide reasonable cost estimates for conventional military engines and transmissions. In using these CERs to predict the cost of newly designed engines or transmissions, proceed with caution. (Author) |
