COCOMO - A tool for manpower estimating, life cycle costing, and scheduling tool for manpower estimating, life cycle costing, and scheduling. Reference: ECRC University of Scranton / Defense Logistics Agency National Security Industrial Association "CALS Expo '93, Proceedings and Reference" Related Terms: COCOMO - life cycle | life cycle cost | life cycle costing | management | scheduling | Concurrent Engineering - A systematic approach to creating a product design that considers all elements of the product life cycle from conception of the design to disposal of the product, and in so doing defines the product, its manufacturing processes, and all other required life cycle processes such as logistic support. Acronym: CE Reference: ECRC University of Scranton / Defense Logistics Agency Included with permission from Joan Smith Adapted from "An Introduction to CALS: The Strategy and the Standards", 1990Related Terms: Concurrent Engineering - acquisition | design | engineering | life cycle | manufacturing | product | process | Cradle-to-Grave - Logistics planning, design, and support which takes in to account logistics support throughout the entire system life cycle.Related Terms: Cradle-to-Grave - life cycle | logistics | lust-to-dust | Integrated Logistics Support (1) - ILS is a management function that provides planning, funding, and functioning controls which help to assure that the system meets performance requirements, is developed at a reasonable price, and can be supported throughout its life cycle. The major goal of ILS is to ensure that all elements of support Acronym: ILS Reference: Air Force Institute of Technology, Graduate School of Acquisition and LogisticsRelated Terms: Integrated Logistics Support (1) - acquisition | integrated logistics support | logistics | military | Life Cycle - The phases of a product or system: need determination, system planning, research, design, production or construction, system evaluation, use and support, and phase out, disposal, or reuse. Acronym: LCRelated Terms: Life Cycle - cradle-to-grave | life cycle analysis | life cycle approach | lust-to-dust | Life Cycle Cost - Refers to the total cost of a product over the full life of the product. The cost includes design, development, production, and support. Acronym: LCC Reference: ECRC University of Scranton / Defense Logistics Agency Fairfax CALS Shared Resource Center 1994Related Terms: Life Cycle Cost - acquisition | design | financial | life cycle | logistics | management | manufacturing | production | support | Life-Cycle Management System - A set of processes (which may include computer-aided software engineering tools) which facilitate the creation, tailoring, and navigation of a system development life cycle. A life cycle management system may take the form of an integrated project support environment or an estimating system linked to a project scheduling and Acronym: CMS Reference: ECRC University of Scranton / Defense Logistics AgencyRelated Terms: Life-Cycle Management System - acquisition | engineering | logistics | management | software | system | process | Product Model - A data model that contains the functions and physical characteristics of each unit of a product throughout its complete life cycle (from requirements specification to disposal). Reference: ECRC University of Scranton / Defense Logistics Agency Source: Department of Trade and Industry, United Kingdom "Open Systems in Manufacturing"Related Terms: Product Model - acquisition | data | design | engineering | life cycle | model | product | support | Training and Training Support - The processes, procedures, techniques, and equipment used to train active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel to operate and maintain a weapon system throughout its life cycle.
