More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This report discusses a cost model computer program developed at HQ, U.S. Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command. The Materiel Management Directorate requested the model to help them improve the cost savings estimates contained in system change requests (SCRs) they submit for the Commodity Command Standard System (CCSS) and other computer systems per AMCR 18-17. Army Materiel Command Logistics System Review Committee guidance states the SCRs should contain estimated benefits that are the best that can be derived. SCRs are submitted by systems analysts with heavy workloads who are not cost analysis experts. Various auditors have criticized SCR estimates for inconsistencies and insufficient documentation. The report details the methodology used and provides supporting rationale. Operation of the model is discussed. The appendices include a listing of the prompts and user inputs for a sample run session plus the example’s cost factor data input file and output file
