| 摘要： | With continued erosion of the DoD budgetary strength, it is imperative that commanders become knowledgeable about the cost to operate major weapon systems. This thesis examines the cost to operate the Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) per mile driven. The central objective of this study was to establish a framework for analyzing the applicable LAV cost drivers so as to derive a total operational cost per mile driven. To address this issue, research of relevant cost data as well as field research and interviews were conducted. The research and interviews obtained information about major cost categories associated with LAV operations, whether those cost categories should be estimated as direct or indirect costs and the proper allocation method for indirect costs. The major findings resulted in two alternative costing models which estimate the operational cost for the LAV family of vehicles as well as for the individual LAV variants based on a full costing approach and a material costing approach. Once defined, direct cost categories were allocated based on miles driven and indirect costs categories were allocated based on the percentage of vehicles by variant as compared to the LAV totals. |
