• Army Life Cycle Cost Management Document - Abstract: This 10/97 MS Word 7.0 document contains information that can help you determine weapon/materiel system Life Cycle Cost (LCC), and in particular, the cost of ownership. Section I describes LCC and ownership cost and their significance; Section II describes the LCC cost structure in general terms; Section III identifies organizational sources for LCC and ownership cost information; and Section IV contains a detailed listing of the LCC and ownership cost elements with possible data sources. Section V describes how to access available cost information from two of these sources, the Army's Operating and Support Management Information System (OSMIS) database and the Army Military-Civilian Cost System (AMCOS) database. The cost elements should be evaluated when analyzing LCC, product improvement proposals, Operations and Support Cost Reduction (OSCR) proposals, and Prime Vendor Support (PVS) proposals.
