2. OSD/CAIG 7-2 1940 200019901980197019601950 History of DoD Cost Reporting Systems 1973 - Contractor Cost Data Reports (CCDR) 1942 - Aeronautical Manufacturers Planning Reports (AMPR) 1958 - Missile Manufacturers Planning Reports (MMPR) 1959 - Missile Manufacturers Support Equipment Planning Reports ((MMSEPR) 1962 - Defense Contractors Planning Reports (DCPR) 1965 - Cost Information Reports (CIR) 1970 - Procurement Information Reports (PIR) Non-Standardized Reporting Early Standardized Reporting Current Reporting Requirements 1970 - Cost Performance Reports 1996 - CCDR Reengineering Effort Began

3. OSD/CAIG 7-3 Contractor Cost Data Reports (CCDR) l Early 1970s - The Promise –Standardized independent source of data for OSD cost estimates l Early 1990s - The Squalor –30,000 CCDR reports moldering in file cabinets in the basement of the Pentagon –Hard to use, and little used l 1996 - Reengineering –CCDR Project Office established –Provide old data electronically over the web –Collect and disseminate new CCDRs over the Internet –Streamline and reduce burden where possible

4. OSD/CAIG 7-4 Accomplishments l Streamlined and reduced number of cost reports –electronic formats further reduce burden l Developed a public web site for information, guidance, and instruction: –new CCDR Manual & Computer-based training –Software tools and electronic formats –http://ccdr.pae.osd.mil l Improved security standards for contractor proprietary data –developed in partnership with industry l Phase-1 of secure on-line system operational –All historic hard-copy CCDR reports now in fully text searchable electronic form

6. OSD/CAIG 7-6 CCDRs Available

7. OSD/CAIG 7-7 On-Going CCDR Programs l Archiving CCDRs - old and new –Scanning paper reports, processing electronic records l Data Collection –Collecting data from 32 active programs –Developing plans for 27 other major acquisition programs l Validation –Ensuring quality data with every CCDR submittal –No mathematical errors, No logical inconsistencies l Training –Off-site training for government analysts, industry representatives, and program management personnel l Industry Relations –Vetting cost reporting issues with senior officials –Government/Industry Focus Group made significant contribution to process

8. OSD/CAIG 7-8 The Vision... Become THE comprehensive, readily usable, secure, high quality source of weapon system cost information for DoD analysts l Steps Completed –Improved CCDR web sites (public and secure) –Transferred control of other cost related activities »Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG) Library, DoD Cost Growth Database, Software Metrics Initiative, & Defense Employment and Purchases Projection System (DEPPS) –Development of Cost Research Document Retrieval System l Steps initiated –Building electronic interfaces with O&S data systems –Documenting mandated IT system security accreditation –Integrating other activities (above) into on-line system One-stop shop for cost analysts
