2 BCF-215: Course Admin and Overview 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 BCF-215: Course Admin and Overview 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 BCF-215: Course Admin and Overview 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 BCF-215: Course Admin and Overview 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 BCF-215: Course Admin and Overview 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
