This report describes the work done by Battelle's Columbus Laboratories (BCL) for the U.S. Army Missile Research and Development Command (MIRADCOM) to develop a methodology for examining missile manufacturing costs, cost drivers in manufacture, and future missile MANTECH programs from the standpoint of best ROI of funds. This objective has been met through the development of a missile parts classification system (MPCS) which provides a methodology for examining cost drivers in missile manufacture plus a variety of other interactive possibilities achievable through the availability of cost information at the discrete part level. As devised, this methodology will accommodate both present as well as future missile systems. In other words, the methodology is designed such that as new technologies develop, the system is sufficiently flexible to accommodate these changes. Data would be stored and retrieved from a computer to allow general comparisons of costs which will identify cost drivers, MANTECH projects with high ROI, and estimates of future missile costs.
