A Framework for Human Total Ownership Cost Based On Universal Human Performance Cost Components

Abstract

The engagement between various human performance elements is overwhelming because the human element, at the center of each and every process, is unpredictable, highly variable, and often changes in context dependent upon the situation. Economic modelling of human total ownership cost (TOC) establishes the foundation of measuring human or manpower cost drivers as they relate to acquisition and during the lifecycle of any program. Thus, research presented in this paper attempts to build a human performance economical modeling framework based on human TOC library of artifacts that reflect human value-performance, technology trade-offs, and human performance task and mission requirements representation in terms of dollar value.
