dc.description.abstract | Current acquisitions, logistics, and system sustainment practices in the U.S. Navy are not fully capitalizing on commercial-sector best practices. In addition, the Navy does not have a consistent approach to system maintenance and sustainment. Could the maintenance free operating period (MFOP) approach be a game changer? This paper evaluates the potential impact of MFOP principles on processes, procedures, and costs in acquisition planning. It investigates MFOP and reviews the results of a 2005 submarine pilot program and the 2009 surface ship demonstration involving the concept. Control of total ownership cost (TOC) is a continuing initiative to manage costs over the entire life cycle of a weapon system. There are several major categories of costs that contribute to Total Ownership Cost but the principal categories are (1) R&D, (2) Production, (3) Operating and Support, and (4) Disposal. | |
