Introduction • There is a current emphasis of comprehensive assessment of cost for development, procurement and sustainment. • This requires the balancing of four separate aspects of total system “value”. • Performance (Coverage) • Operational Availability (Ao)/Logistics • Reliability (MTBF) • Life Cycle Cost (LCC) • Objectives set in the value equation include • Maximize Performance (Coverage) • Maximize Operational Availability • Optimize the logistics support strategy • Minimize Life Cycle Cost • Maximize Reliability (MTBF)
Cost Modeling Uses CAIV Cost As an Independent Variable (CAIV) balances, cost, schedule, performance, and risk Treats cost as a requirement Early application critical Answers the question: How much performance can I get for my money? Trades performance or effectiveness for reductions in life cycle cost

Cost Modeling Approach • Parametric Cost Analysis? • “ Parametric Cost Analysis employs equations that describe relationships between cost, schedule, and measurable attributes of systems, hardware, and software. The equations describe how a products design, technology, and programmatic characteristics affect its cost and schedule. “ • * from the International Society of Parametric Analysts (ISPA) Website • How can we expand parametric cost modeling by developing cost estimating relationships between functions and performance parameters?

PRICE H Cost Model Input Parameters Mechanical Design • Relationships exist between Mechanical & Electrical System Design Parameters used in CAD systems • Manufacturing process simulations can be used to update parametric cost models Electrical Design
Logistics Modeling & Analysis • Logistic support analysis • Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) • Failure modes effects (criticality) analysis (FMECA) • Reliability and maintainability (R&M) studies • Safety analysis • Life cycle cost (LCC) analysis • Maintenance task analysis (MTA) • Level of repair analysis (LORA) • Logistics Support Analysis Record (LSAR • Existing LOGSA Tools are the current focus of DoD Logistics Activities
Cost Model Integration Challenges • Identifying cost estimation relationships between performance parameters • Generally product cost is based on type of material and manufacturing processes • Increased system performance tied to increases in system size, processing capacity or logic built into devices • How do we generalize these relationships into utility curves that relate system performance and function to cost? • Identifying tip over points for integration of functions into new designs • What functions are easily integratable at low cost • How many functions can you integrate before development results into a complete system redesign
Logistics Model Integration Challenges • Modeling Hierarchical System, Product, Component and Piece Part Structures • Spares Stocklists use hierarchical models that must be common between cost, reliability, weight, power and size models • Spares Optimization models using hierarchical structures are typically complex • Integration at this level of complexity can be dificult • Generally models that include spares optimization algorithms have proprietary interfaces • Integration of Concept of Operations Modeling with logistics support structure • Modeling of where spares can be kept on a vehicle (tires, filters, batteries…) or stored during operations is essential to how stocklists are identified
How Can MBSE Help Address the Challenges? • Assign performance parameters to systems and subsystems • Create cost/performance curves based on existing designs that satisfy scenarios, capabilities, & functions • Create Matrices • Map subsystem costs to capabilities and functionality • Map Performance Levels to specific subsystem groups used to perform one or more system functions • Include ability to select specific capabilities at a given cost or performance level • Develop parametric cost modules for each function & performance level • Potentially create classification algorithm that identifies best system to use for a given set of capabilities, cost and performance levels CONOPS/Scenario Matrix Capability Matrix Performance Matrix Systems Function/ Capability Performance Levels Capabilities Subsystem Subsystem Example Exploring the Tradespace
Conclusions • An integration framework should be developed that maps system performance and functionality to cost parameters • Cost is is modeled using design implementations that satisify a given function • Many design implementations may satisfy one function • These design implementations will have different performance levels • Performance versus cost relationships will provide better search of the trade space • A parametric Modeling approach to map cost to performance parameters should be considered • Logistics Modeling involves complex system, product and component interactions • Architecure Modeling, System CONOPS and usage scenarios must be closely coupled with system logistics support concepts • Ensure proper infrastructure is in place for system support • Ensure effective partitioning of system components to reduce logistic footprint and life cycle costs
