EXECUTIVE SUMMNARY

The Federal Catalog System (FCS) catalogs more than 5.5 million items and

handles more than 41 million transactions a year. Changes to the system are

* constantly proposed for such purposes as cutting costs, reducing errors,

improving its responsiveness or increasing its capacity. Such changes can be

* highly advantageous or a complete waste of money.

DLA needs to know how a proposed change to the FCS will affect the total

cost of its operation. On the basis of that knowledge it can decide

* immediately, for example, whether a change intended to reduce costs will

*really do so. It can also place a price tag on changes proposed for other

reasons and decide whether they are worth implementing.

DLA does not now have an adequate measure of the total cost impact of a

change on either the operators or the users of the FCS. To produce such a

measure, it needs a framework for assignment of labor, material, and overhead

costs to the FCS processes: item entry control, provisioning screening, item

* identification, maintenance of National Stock Numbers, issuance of publica-

tions, release of file information, cataloging, management, and training.

Further, it needs well-defined methods to project how changes in the system

will affect costs.

We propose a framework to satisfy these needs. The framework consists

of:

-A cost-estimating approach which provides for the assignment ofappropriate DLA central administrative costs, primarily those of theDefense Logistics Services Center, to the various FCS processes.

-A cost-estimating approach that provides for the application ofstandard costs in evaluating proposed FCS changes to "first-level"users -- the supply centers of the Services, DLA, other DoD agencies,and civilian agencies.

.............

- A methodology for integrating both approaches, allowing DLA to assessthe total cost of proposed FCS changes. -

A test of the proposed framework indicates that it can be used

effectively to evaluate proposed changes to the FCS. We recommend the follow-

ing steps for further development and implementation of the framework:

1) assignment of DLA cost analysis function to further define and administer

the framework, 2) development of detailed framework procedures, 3) establish-

ment of review responsibility for FCS change analyses, 4) validation of

central administrative costs to be assigned to FCS processes, and 5)

development of a plan to expand standard cost coverage for first-level users.

1. INTRODUCTION

SIZE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE FCS

The purpose of the Federal Catalog System (FCS) is to provide a common

identification language for government supply items that are repetitively

procured, stocked, controlled, and subjected to central inventory management

and distribution by DoD and civilian agencies. The FCS is maintained and

operated at the Defense Logistics Services Center (DLSC) in Battle Creek,

Michigan. The Defense Integrated Data System (DIDS) is the automated system

central to the operation of the FCS. DIDS is so complex that 14 volumes are

published to describe it to users.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages and administers DLSC and

through it the FCS. DLA.is continually confronted with proposals to change

the FCS. Some are to reduce costs. Others are intended to improve the

quality of the information services provided to FCS users. Users include the

Services, the General Services Administration, and other DoD and civilian

agencies. Any change to DIDS or to any other FCS component or procedure is

reviewed by each user organization, and every attempt is made to ensure that

changes result in the greatest benefit to as many users as possible.

Tracing the expected results of changes to the FCS through the labyrinth

of its information services and user organizations has become increasingly

difficult. It is important, however, for DLA to know how a change will affect

the total cost of FCS operations. If the change is to reduce costs, such

knowledge reveals immediately whether the change is worth implementing. If

the change is for some other purpose, knowledge of the cost implications

provides a basis for judging whether it is worth implementing.

DLA does not now have an adequate measure of the total cost impact of a

change to either the operators or the users of the FCS. To produce such a

measure, it needs a framework for assignment of labor, material, and overhead

costs to the key functional activities of the system.

OBJECTIVE AND OVERVIEW OF REPORT

The objective of this report is to describe a framework to satisfy the

needs of DLA just described. The framework is proposed in Chapter 2. It

includes a description of the user community of the FCS, the costs to be

measured, and the methodology to measure them. Chapter 3 presents

recommendations for implementing the framework.

2. A FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURING THE COSTSOF FCS CHANGES

USER COMMUNITY

Proposed changes to the FCS are reviewed by each user organization in an

attempt to ensure that the changes will benefit as many users as possible.

Thus, the framework captures costs related to these FCS users. The relation-

ship of the FCS to its users is shown in Figure 2-1. There are three differ-

ent levels of users: 1) DLSC, the central operators and administrators of the

FCS; 2) the Services and other defense and civilian agencies -- the first-

level users of the system; and 3) those persons in the logistics community who

use FCS products but have no direct contact with it -- the end-users. At the

DLA/DLSC level, changes in costs due to proposed system changes appear to be

entirely measurable. System processes are well identified and documented.

There is also a financial accounting system which allows for the comparison of

actual and proposed costs to the processes. At the second level, the costs of

proposed system changes can be inferred from various work measurement programs

in place or in the process of being implemented.

At the end-user level, however, proposed system changes and their impact

on cost are difficult to develop. Benefits to FCS end-users are intangible,

elusive, hard to measure, and not easily relatable to DLSC FCS processes.

Such benefits flow from the advantages of a centralized cataloging system --

the "one item/one manager/one identifying number" concept -- and include:

- Minimization of procurement costs.

- Standardization and predictability of item performance and reliabilitycharacteristics.

- Common supply language among allies who do not share a common spokenlanguage.

-Minimization of the likelihood that one government uniL will disposeof items which another needs.

We excluded the cost impact of achieving benefits to end-users from the

framework because monetary values cannot be readily assigned to them. To

measure the total cost impact of a change to the FCS for central administra-

tion and first-level user activities, however, we propose a framework

consisting of:

- A cost-estimating approach that identifies and assigns appropriate DLAcentral administrative processes.

- A cost-estimating approach that uses work standards to evaluateproposed FCS changes to "tfirst-.level"f users.

- A methodology for integrating both approaches, allowing DLA to assessthe total cost of proposed FCS changes.

The overall system concept for the framework is illustrated in Figure 2-2. It

shows that through the use of the integrating methodology, both central

administrative costs and first-level user costs are combined to roduce the

total cost of a proposed FCS change.

The following sections describe how costs are recorded and assigned for

each type of cost, and provides the detail for combining them.

CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

At present, the costs of FCS functions at DLSC and DLA Headquarters

sites, i.e. the central administrative costs, are recorded and reported under

an accounting structure which provides for the accumulation and recording of

costs according to agency organizational units and activities. While some of

these units' costs pertain specifically to FCS functions, many do not. More-

over, many of the costs reported by any one unit are shared among the various

established FCS processes and functions, including item entry control,

g provisioning screening, item identification, and establishing, maintaining and

changing catalog stock numbers. Because it is necessary to know the cost of

:.Z..

each of these processes and functions to analyze and determine the impact

of proposed changes, it is necessary to restructure applicable DLA unit

costs according to FCS processes and functions. They are listed in Table 2-1,

are commonly used to describe user activities, and are, therefore, familiar to

FCS users. Appendix A contains a detailed description of the existing DLA

unit costs applicable to FCS processes.

Figure 2-3 displays the proposed structure for assigning unit costs

to FCS processes. Within this structure, DLA unit costs are first

accumulated and recorded under the agency's existing accounting structure,

and then subdivided and allocated to FCS processes and functions (listed

in Table 2-1). The costs of the function, FCS Overall Management are

then assigned to the remaining processes and to the training function

on a pro-rata basis (according to the amount of unit costs assigned to

them).

It should be noted that two FCS processes are aggregations of other

. processes and functions. Item Entry Control ("A", Figure 2-3) is the

aggregation of all costs assigned to the processes of Provisioning Screening

("B") and Item Identification ("C"). Similarly, Establish and Maintain a New

NSN ("D") is the aggregation of all costs assigned to the processes of Item

Identification ("C") and Change an NSN ("E"). To prevent double counting,

no unit or management costs are directly assigned to either of these

processes. Also, these represent total costs. To calculate the average cost

of, for example, establishing one NSN, divide the Item Identification cost for

a year by the number of NSNs established during the year.

Table 2-2 shows, for each FCS process or function, the specific DLA unit

cost category (or portion thereof) to be assigned to it. Appendix A provides a

detailed description and procedure for this assignment process. The pro-

cedure for the assignment of costs is described below under "Integrating

Methodology." This procedure integrates the central and first-level user

costs and provides an estimate of the cost impact of proposed system changes.

FIRST-LEVEL USER COSTS

There is no standard structure of FCS-related cost codes for first-level

users as there is for central administrative costs. Users work for many

different agencies and interact differently with the FCS. Thus, it is not

possible to use the same approach in developing costs for these users.

Figure 2-4 shows the first-level user interface with the FCS and the flow

to developing costs. First-level users interact with the FCS in two ways, by

supplying data to it and by using its products such as publications and DIDS

file query responses. As a method of measuring and managing their work, these

users are developing work standards for many of their activities.

While very few work standard data have been developed by first-level

users, all first-level users have developed approaches--some users have

well-defined procedures--for work measurement systems pertaining to their FCS

activities. Appendix B contains descriptions of the various approaches used

" by each first-level user, in addition to the procedure documentation itself,

where available. An analyst wishing to evaluate a change in an FCS process

for first-level users would be able to use the work standard procedures for

each user to be affected and "roll up" the estimated costs, both current and

* proposed, to evaluate a change. Until the standards themselves are developed

by each first-level user, however, users must take extra steps to determine

the impact of proposed changes to the system.

*We should add that a given change may affect more than one work standard,

possibly in opposite ways. For example, if a change reduced the number of

entries for a Federal Item Identification Guide (FIIG), it might reduce the

cost of preparing a FIIG but increase the cost of identifying items. Costs

for all affected standards must be summed for all users.

Appendix B shows the following information about work standards develop-

ment by the first-level users of the FCS:

-The Army has developed standard practice records for admin-istrative functions and work units. Data collection and workstandards analysis are yet to be undertaken; each major commandhas responsibility for undertaking these tasks.

-The Navy (Naval Supply Systems Command) delegates work standardsdevelopment to its local coimmand sites, providing standard costaccount guidance through its NAVSUP Management Handbook.

-The Marine Corps has not yet scheduled Corps-wide work standardsdevelopment but has issued work unit definitions for FCS-relatedactivities carried out by its Technical Operations Division.

-The Air Force's Cataloging and Standardization Office has juststarted a program of developing FCS-related work standards,although formal process descriptions do not exist.

-Defense Supply Centers have developed both procedures and workstandards for FCS-related processes, and work is currently beingreported and measured against the standards.

- NATO and other foreign government cataloging services negotiatestandard cost rate schedules for FCS-related administrativeactivities, from which FCS change costs can be determined.

- The Veterans Administration supplies work-measurement standardswhich are useful in evaluating the costs of changes to thatcivilian agency and others.

- The General Services Administration (GSA) has developed a workmeasurement coding structure but has not yet specified theprocesses themselves.

There are two problems in using user work standards to calculate the

costs of changes in the FCS. One, users organize their work differently and

therefore have different work standards. The costs must be slimmed over all

users. Two, not all users have completed their work standards. The Veterans

Administration has developed and validated some work standards and are devel-

oping more. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and GSA have developed procedures

* 2-13

and/or measurement techniques but have not completed work standards. The Air

Force is just beginning to develop them. Obviously, the total impact of a

change cannot be evaluated until work standards are complete. But most of the

important procedures and/or measurement techniques have been developed, and

they can be used as guidelines to evaluate the impact of FCS-related changes

* . now.

INTEGRATING METHODOLOGY

By assigning central administrative costs to FCS processes and using

first-level user work standards to generate standard costs for FCS and related

administrative processes, we ta.'e developed the components of a "total-cost"

approach to estimating the impact of proposed FCS changes. The methodology to

integrate those components to effectively evaluate system changes is

straightforward. It is described below and consists of:

- Establishing baseline costs for both central administrative and first-level user sites when a change to the system is proposed.

- Estimating central administrative and first-level user site costs thatwould be incurred as a result of a change to the system.

-Comparing baseline costs to estimated costs to determine the price tagof the change -- either the savings or increased cost incurred forbenefits to be derived from the change.

Establishing Baseline Costs

Responsibility for the establishment of central administrative and

first-level user costs, as well as the estimation and comparison of proposed

cost changes to the FCS, should be assigned to a DLA cost analysis function,

preferably at DLA headquarters. The analyst(s) would be responsible for the

following steps in determining baseline costs:

* *1. Using the accounting structure defined in Table 2-2 and detailed in

Appendix A, establish the present costs of the central administrative system

2-14

processes affected by the proposed change. This is accomplished by:

a. Developing current unit costs for the affected processes, usingthe most recent cost data available

b. Allocating costs to the processes according to the structureproposed, contacting appropriate DLA and DLSC department managersto determine costs (costs shared among processes should beallocated to all those processes).

c. Summing all current costs for the administrative processesaffected by the change.

2. Determine the work standards of first-level users that will be

affected by the proposed change. Calculate the cost of the current standards

by:

a. Establishing current work volumes for the cataloging processes tobe affected.

b. Determining the average grade level at which the catalogingprocesses are performed by first-level users.

c. Calculating current standard costs, applying the current workvolumes and cost rates for each affected process, and summing allcosts for affected first-level users (where work standards areavailable).

3. Combine central administrative costs and first-level user costs to

arrive at the total current cost of the processes affected by the proposed

change.

Estimating the Cost of a Proposed FCS Change

Next, the analyst must develop an estimate of the cost that would

. result from the change. The following steps are necessary:

1. Review with central administrative management the changes that would

occur to the various FCS processes if the proposed change were implemented.

Determine the resulting cost increase/decrease and develop total costs for

- each cost category. Allocate costs to processes and sum all costs for all

'" affected processes in the same manner as for establishing baseline costs.

2-15

" 2. Review with first-level users the changes that would occur in their

FCS-related function if the proposed change were effected. Determine whether

work volumes, cost rates, or work me:.hods would be modified. Determine the

resulting cost increases/decreases and develop total costs for all work

standards affected by summing all costs for all affected users.

Comparing Baseline to Estimated Costs

The final step is to compare the total current cost of the FCS

processes affected by the proposed change to the total estimated cost of the

processes resulting from the change. If a comparison of the cost shows a

savings when the new method is used, the proposed change is worth imple-

menting. If the cost under the new method is greater than the present cost,

the change is probably not worth implementing. However, in both cases the

"price" of the change, either a savings or an increase, must be considered in

conjunction with any intangible aspects (such as improved system respon-

siveness) of the proposed change.

The framework provides the basis for estimating the cost of proposed

changes before they are implemented, as well as tracking the cost of business

as usual. With this framework, the costs of central administration of FCS

processes can be calculated. The costs to first-level users-can be calculated

using work standards under development. Thus, the current cost of FCS

processes and the cost of proposed changes can be evaluated in terms of the

.". total cost to DLA and users of the FCS.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS

During the past few months, the framework described in the preceding

chapter has been tested. The results (described in a separate report) indi-

cate that the framework can be used effectively to compare the total costs of

current FCS processes to the total costs of proposed processes. The test also

indicated that further steps are needed to define and implement the framework

to achieve a full capability for evaluating FCS change proposals. Staffing

actions, procedures development, and data refinement are all needed to develop

the framework to the fully-working status. We recommend that DLA take the

following steps:

1. Assign responsibility for implementing and administering the frame-

work to a cost-analysis function, preferably within the headquarters organiza-

tion. At least one full-time analyst is necessary to perform the analytical

functions. Additional staff may be required to develop initial procedures and

data documentation.

2. Develop detailed procedures for administering the framework. Such

procedures should include, as a minimum, the use of worksheets and checklists

for compiling both current and proposed change costs, contact lists for

obtaining cost estimates, and work standard coverage status reports to track

the status of first-level users' FCS work standards.

3. Determine the responsibility or chain of command for review of FCS

change analyses. The review process should include key managers for all

first-level users affected by a change, a review committee of central

administration managers and a management representative from the group

responsible for the change analysis.

3-1

4. Review DLA unit cost codes to be used for assigning costs to central

administration processes for appropriateness and currency of cost data.

Develop detailed procedures to further refine the process/function cost

assignment data collection and analysis parts of the framework for central

administrative costs.

5. Encourage first-level users to develop and implement FCS work

standards where they are lacking. As a first step, determine the detailed

status of current work standard coverage with all users so that a plan can be

developed with them to achieve adequate coverage.

ARMY STATUS

The Army is developing DARCOM-wide summary-level standards for cataloging

operations at the five major Army Commands. This is a three-phase effort.

The first phase has been completed. It consisted of developing Records of

Standard Practice that describe functions being performed and identify work

units. The other two phases will involve data collection and analysis of the

work standards developed.

The report for the first phase was published in September 1982. It is

titled "DARCOM Integrated Methods & Standards Activity (IMSA); Redstone

Arsenal, Alabama; Standards Development; Cataloging Functions; DARCOM Material

Management Directorate." Following are pages 16-31 of the report, describing

the Records of Standard Practice. Work standards and production statistics

for the following areas can be used to develop FCS costs:

A. Federal Item Identification

- B. General Cataloging Support Functions

E. Collaboration Actions (Excluding Intra-Command)

F. Process Unidentified Requisitions (Ad Rejects)

AIR FORCE STATUS

The Cataloging and Standardization Office (CASO) at Battle Creek,

Michigan, recently began a program of developing production standards for

FCS-related activities. CASO was formed six years ago by the consolidation of

cataloging activities previously resident in Air Force Logistics Commands

(ALCs). More than 400 employees without previous cataloging experience were

trained in cataloging. There existed, at the time of consolidation, a large

backlog of cataloging actions. Only recently has the situation at CASO

stabilized sufficiently for meaningful production statistics to be collected.

CASO is using the LODC Production Report to develop work standards.

Formal process descriptions for the items on that report do not exist, but the

following are capsule scription of their processes obtained through

interviews.

Work Unit Description

Base 86s Request for cataloging action. CASO is the controlpoint and performs preliminary research. If substitutesexist, the cataloging action can be closed at CASO. Ifnot, it is forwarded to the appropriate Air LogisticsCommand.

• PPLs Provisioning Parts Lists. These are checked for consis-tency by catalogers and then subjected to a cursoryInterchangeability and Standardization review.

TCTO Time Compliance Technical Order. This is a modificationto a weapon system. CASO performs a consistency reviewand provides an alternative if one is available. Ifnot, the suggested item is used.

SERD Support Equipment Recommended Data. The manufacturerhas suggested support equipment for a system. CASO per-forms an Interchangeability and Substitutability review,

9 a consistency review, and a check of the standard main-tenance handbook to verify the recommendation.

Revised Rates for NATO and Other Foreign Governments Cataloging Services

1. Statistics from October 1980 through March 198l were used as the base for thisstudy. Costs were increased by 4.8% for personnel and 10% for non-personnel dollarsto allow for anticipated inflation during FY 82. Costs for functions not directlyrelated to requests for stock number assigment were excluded. Increased productivityattributed to the slight decrease in rates. Proposed rates have been rounded towhole cents. DLSC anticipates recovery of total costs for the NATO Codificationfunction in accordance with DoD policy on Foreign Military Sales (FtS) based on these* revised rates.
