Total Ownership Cost Management

At TCI, we view cost as an independent variable (CAIV) to plan programs based on realistic projections for funding and staffing necessary to meet ACAT program requirements. We provide CAIV to develop total ownership cost, schedule, and performance thresholds and objectives. Performance-based acquisition and logistics are incorporated into acquiring and sustaining products and services wherever feasible.

TCI prepares cost estimates and analyses to support cost, technical, and schedule baselines, development of cost databases and independent cost estimates, and for assistance in conducting cost benefit analyses. TCI provides earned value management assessments, reviews, and analyses addressing WBS elements and associated functional cost categories including: engineering, tooling, manufacturing, quality control, material, and rates. TCI relates resource planning to schedules, technical cost, and schedule requirements. All work is planned, budgeted, and scheduled in time-phased increments to form a cost and schedule measurement baseline. TCI provides the following TOC management products and services:

• Develop Analysis of Alternatives
• Generate Cost Effectiveness Ratios in support of program milestone reviews
• Perform LCC and DTC analyses
• Provide Cost/Price analysis to support acquisition procurements
