Aircraft Avionics and Missile System Installation Cost Study. Volume 2. Appendices F and G.

This volume contains appendices F and G, the raw data extracted from Technical Directive Status Accounting System TDSA, and the TDSA installation manhour normalizations to unit 100, respectively. The TDSA is an automated accounting system designed to store, maintain, and disseminate information concerning the status of TDs. The system provides the incorporation nonincorporation status of the TDs as they apply to each equipment item airframe, engine, support equipment, avionics, etc.. It also provides projected and actual man-hour reporting, configuration status of equipment items, change-kits material accounting, and summary reporting for overall management and budgeting. On-line access is provided to each Naval Aviation Rework Facility NARF and to the Naval Air Maintenance Organization NAMO management. Detailed reports are distributed quarterly at the organizational level. Appendix F contains the data extracted from the TDSA system. The data was obtained from queries to the TDSA at NAMO, Patuxent River. Queries were made for each OSIP for kit costs and then for manhours. The data from both queries was combined in Lotus 1-2-3 files. Appendix G contains the TDSA Installation Manhour Normalizations to Unit 100. The data was normalized using the learning curves as discussed in Volume 1, Section II, Data CollectionSourcesNormalization. Keywords Avionics Cost analysis Parametric cost models Cost estimates.
