The acquisition cost of defense weapon system has been continuously increasing because of art-of-technology of it. This phenomenon requires efficiency and transparency in the weapon system acquisition process through cost estimation. Therefore cost estimation is very important to the government acquisition programs to support decisions about funding and to evaluate resource requirement as a key decision point. The Commercial parametric cost estimating models have been using extensively to obtain appropriate cost estimates in early acquisition phase. These models have many restrictions to ensure the cost estimating result in Korean defense environment because they are developed based on foreign R&D data. Also estimation results are different from Korean defense industry accounting system. So, some studies have been tried to develop a CER (Cost Estimation Relationship) based on the Korean historical data. However, there are some restrictions to improve the predictability and ensure the stability of the developed singular CERs which consider the following data characteristics individually. The the abnormal conditions of data that is multicollinearity, outlier and heteroscedasticity under rack of the number of observations. In this paper, a CER's Linear Combining Model is proposed to overcome those limitations which guarantee more accurate estimation (25.42% higher precision) than other singular CERs. At least, this study is meaningful as a first attempt to improve the predictability of CER with insufficient data. The methodology suggested in this study will be useful to develop a complex Korean version cost estimating model development in future.

As the portion of information systems (IS) budget to the total government budget becomes greater, the cost estimation of IS development and maintenance projects is recognized as one of the most important problems to be resolved for scientific and efficient management of IS budget. Since IS budget makes much effect on the delivery time, quality and productivity of IS projects, the exact cost estimation is also necessary for the successful accomplishment of IS projects. The primary concern in the cost estimation of IS projects is software cost estimation, which requires the measurement of the size of softwares. There are two methods for sizing software : line-of-code approach, function point model. In this paper, we propose a function-point-based model for estimating software cost. The proposed model is derived by collecting about fifty domestic IT projects in public sector and analyzing their relationship between cost drivers and development effort. Since the proposed model is developed by simplifying the function point model that can be used only when detailed user requirements are specified, it can be also applied at project planning and budgeting phase.

This paper describes the ultra precise position estimation of a servomotor using a sinusoidal encoder based on Arcsine Interpolation Method for the cost reduction of circuit design. The amplitude and offset errors of the sinusoidal encoder output signals, from the encoder itself and analog signal processing procedures, are effectively compensated and on-line tuned by utilizing a low cost programmable differential amplifier without any special expensive equipment. For a theoretical evaluation of the practical resolution of this system, the relationship between the amplitude of ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) input signal errors and the anticipated resolution is also addressed. The performance of the proposed method is verified by comparing it with speed control characteristics of the servomotor driving system using a digital incremental 50,000ppr encoder in the experiments.

This paper presents a method for the estimation and analysis of the economic value of weather forecasts for CRM decision-making problems in the leisure industry. Value is calculated in terms of the customer's satisfaction returned from the user's decision under the specific payoff structure, which is itself represented by a customer's satisfaction ratio model. The decision is assessed by a modified cost-loss model to consider the customer's satisfaction instead of the loss or cost. Site-specific probability and deterministic forecasts, each of which is provided in Korea and China, are applied to generate and analyze the optimal decisions. The application results demonstrate that probability forecasts have greater value than deterministic forecasts, provided that the users can locate the optimal decision threshold. This paper also presents the optimal decision strategy for specific customers with a variety of satisfaction patterns.

In the defense acquisition, a company's goal is to maximize profits, and the government's goal is to allocate budgets efficiently. Each year, the government estimates the ratio of indirect cost sector to defense companies, and estimates the ratio to be applied when calculating cost of the defense articles next year. The defense industry environment is changing rapidly, due to the increasing trend of defense acquisition budgets, the advancement of weapon systems, the effects of the 4th industrial revolution, and so on. As a result, the cost structure of defense companies is being diversifying. The purpose of this study is to find an alternative that can enhance the rationality of the current methodology for estimating the ratio of indirect cost sector of defense companies. To do this, we conducted data analysis using the R language on the cost data of defense companies over the past six years in the Defense Integrated Cost System. First, cluster analysis was conducted on the cost characteristics of defense companies. Then, we conducted a regression analysis of the relationship between direct and indirect costs for each cluster to see how much it reflects the cost structure of defense companies in direct labor cost-based indirect cost rate estimates. Lastly a new ratio prediction model based on regularized regression analysis was developed, applied to each cluster, and analyzed to compare performance with existing prediction models. According to the results of the study, it is necessary to estimate the indirect cost ratio based on the cost character group of defense companies, and the direct labor cost based indirect cost ratio estimation partially reflects the cost structure of defense companies. In addition, the current indirect cost ratio prediction method has a larger error than the new model.

최근 위성발사체 시장에서 발사가격은 상당한 수준으로 낮아지고 있다. 이것은 약 10년전부터 발사 시장에 SpaceX 등의 민간기업이 진입하면서 소수 기업의 독점체제가 민간을 포함한 경쟁체제로 변하였고, 민간기업의 기술 및 경영 효율화가 적극적으로 도입되고 있기 때문이다. 또한 SpaceX는 2016년에 위성발사체 1단의 회수에 성공함으로써 재사용발사체의 서막을 열었고, 향후 재사용발사체를 활용하여 위성발사 가격을 획기적으로 낮추겠다고 공언하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 어떤 한 위성을 LEO 궤도에 올리기 위하여 필요한 총 발사비용을 계산하고, 3가지 경우의 임무중량에 대하여 각각의 발사비용을 비교하여 재사용발사체의 비용 효용성에 미치는 임무중량의 영향에 대하여 알아본다. 발사비용은 개발비용, 제작비용, 재사용비용, 운용비용, 고정비용 및 보험비용으로 구분하여 계산하며, 각 계산에 사용된 비용추정관계식은 TRNSCOST 등의 비용계산모델을 활용하여 사용하였다.

최근 국방 무기체계 획득 환경의 변화는 무기체계 획득비용의 효율적 집행이라는 측면에서 비용분석의 중요성을 더욱 강조하고 있다. 그러나 정책 및 제도적 측면에서 비용분석이 강조되고 있는 반면 비용분석을 위한 국내 기반여건은 매우 부족한 실정이다. 국내에서의 비용추정은 주로 사업초기부터 국외에서 도입한 비용추정 전산모델을 사용하고 있으나 국내 방산환경에 적합하지 않은 많은 제약사항을 가지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 최근 한국형 비용분석 전산모델을 개발하고자 하는 공감대가 형성되었으며 체계적인 연구가 현재 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국형 비용분석 전산모델의 핵심 논리인 비용추정관계식 개발 방법과 절차를 제안하고 있다. 특히 데이터가 가지는 각각의 회귀적 한계, 즉 다중공선성, 이상치, 이분산성 등을 식별하고 이에 적합한 회귀방법을 선택함으로서 데이터의 특성을 고려한 최선의 회귀모형을 구축하는 방법 및 절차를 제안하고자 한다. 제안한 방법은 국내 포병 무기체계 연구개발 자료를 기초로 비용추정관계식 개발방법 및 절차에 대한 이론적 적용가능성을 사례를 통해 검증하였다.

In a linear regression model the idependent variables are frequently subject to measurement errors. For this case, the problem of estimating unknown parameters has been extensively discussed in the literature while very few has been concerned with the effect of measurement errors on prediction. This paper investigates the behavior of the predicted values of the dependent variable in terms of the average mean square error of prediction (AMSEP). AMSEP may be used as a criterion for selecting an appropriate estimation method, for designing an estimation experiment, and for developing cost-effective future sampling schemes.
