Streamlining Cost Estimation for Large Department of Defense Organizations

Researchers created a prototype tool that uses data from the Full Cost of Manpower (FCoM) model, which includes various cost factors. The prototype tool expands on FCoM by creating a method to streamline cost estimations for large Department of Defense organizations, providing summary output in the form of graphs and tables, and allowing the user to run various scenarios in which billet counts are changed and the effect on cost can be observed.
