Title:
Potential for Improvements in Department of Defense Maintenance Activities Through Better Cost Accounting Systems
Report Date:
1971-02-02
Abstract:
The Department of Defense (DoD) spends about $7 billion a year for depot maintenance operations--that is, the major overhauling or rebuilding of military equipment. This review was made because previous work in this area indicated that improvements in cost accounting systems were needed to achieve accurate measurement of the work force's effectiveness and accurate determination of the costs of equipment repair. Aircraft engine maintenance was chosen for this review because the Army, Navy and Air Force all use aircraft engines and because the annual cost of maintenance is sizable--exceeding $300 million.
