OSCAM
models are available for Sea, Air and Land based systems. All
models have been developed by teams including both subject matter
experts, experienced cost analysts and simulation modelers.
In
addition to providing you with a tool offering full O&S
cost estimation coverage, the OSCAM Navy model has been designed
around the data available in the US Navy VAMOSC database.
Further
information on this, as well as the underlying model methodology
can be found by following the links below...
OSCAM
is a joint UK/US program aimed at developing a suite of tools
that can provide rapid assessments of the O&S costs of high
cost capital assets.....
In
January 1996, the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA) began an
initiative to improve the Navy’s operating and support (O&S)
cost estimating capabilities.....
The
OSCAM family of models currently consists of several separate models.
In addition, each model has a data management tool capable of creating
OSCAM compatable datasets......
System
dynamics is a technique that aims to allow understanding and modeling
of complex systems. A system in this sense is any organization of
people, items and capabilities that work together to achieve goals.....
Although
these are primarily OSCAM Navy related, many of the answers provided
are equally applicable to the other OSCAM models.....
The
Navy VAMOSC management information system collects and reports US
Navy and US Marine Corps historical weapon system operating and
support (O&S) costs.....
The
OSCAM Models are currently available to individuals either employed
by the U.S. Government or employed by a contractor that is sponsored
by the U.S. Government. For more information use the links below.
