Description
The Cost Analysis Strategy Assessment (CASA) model is a Life Cycle Cost (LCC)/Total Ownership Cost (TOC) decision support tool. CASA can present TOC depending on user selections: including RDT and E costs, production costs, and operating/support costs. CASA covers the entire life of the system, from its initial research costs to those associated with yearly maintenance, as well as spares, training costs, and other expenses. CASA uses standard LCC/TOC and logistics equations for the computation of costs and resource requirements. CASA also enables optimization of distribution of spares to be performed. What can it do for me? LCC/TOC Estimates, Trade-off Analyses, Production Rate and Quantity Analyses, Warranty Analyses, Spares Provisioning, Resource Projections, Reliability Growth Analyses, Operational Availability Analyses with Automated Sensitivity Analysis, Spares Optimization to achieve readiness requirements, Operation and Support Cost contribution by Individual LRUs.
