  1. O&S BCF-215 O&S Cost Analysis Course Administration and Overview 10/12/2010

  2. Course Objectives Provide introductory level concepts and methodologies needed to develop operating and support (O&S) cost estimates used in support of weapon systems.

  3. Enabling Objectives 1. Prepare O&S Cost Estimates a. Know the full scope of O&S costs b. Know the purpose and uses of cost estimating structures and know the OSD CAPE O&S structure c. Know the major O&S data sources and their limitations d. Know basic O&S cost estimating methods f.  Understand how system technical characteristics, operating concepts, and support concepts influence O&S cost estimates 2. Document And Present O&S Cost Analyses a. Understand the overall O&S cost estimating process

  4. Course Layout • Monday: Basic O&S Concepts • Tuesday: Estimating Techniques • Wednesday: O&S Data • Thursday/Friday: Practical Application • Case Study • Workshop and Team Presentation

  5. Case Study • Discuss C-17 O&S Cost Estimate • Discuss approaches to estimating C-17 O&S costs, using information that was available in 1987 • Bottom-Up and Analogy • Focus: maintenance manpower, fuel consumption, depot level reparables, and depot maintenance • Themes: • How would we construct detailed “bottoms-up” estimates? • How would we construct simple analogy or parametric estimates? • What are the major risk areas? • What are the important lessons learned? • Read And Be Ready To Discuss For Day 4

  6. O&S Workshop • Integrating Exercise • Incrementally developed throughout the week • Culminates in development of a complete O&S estimate on Day 4 and presentation of the estimates on Day 5 • Homework • For Tuesday: Develop An Estimate Structure • For Wednesday: Inventory and Optempo • For Thursday: Enlisted Maintenance Manpower

  7. Graded Assessments In order to successfully complete the course, you must obtain a cumulative 80% (80 points).

  8. What Will You Get From This Week? • The “big picture” of O&S cost estimating • Where O&S fits in LCC cost estimates • The full scope of O&S costs • Basic knowledge to do an estimate • A framework for estimating O&S costs • Methods used to estimate O&S costs • O&S cost data sources • Practical applications

  9. What the course is NOT • Advanced course in O&S • Detailed logistics course • Data analysis

  10. Forward Employed Reconnaissance of Regional Enemies & Terrorists Ferret Program Office O&S Cost Estimate - Preliminary -
