Abstract
This thesis develops an automatic data processing charge back system
for the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) in Monterey, California.
A brief introduction to FNOC is followed by a review of the current literature
on charge back systems, focusing on the goals and principles of charging,
types of charge back systems, hard and soft money, and on the resources that
should be charged. Navy guidelines on charge back systems for organizations
operating under the Resource Management System are reviewed, and reimbursable
costs under these guidelines are identified. FNOC's current algorithm for
computer service costs is examined and a new algorithm and rates for billing
users are proposed. Possible future directions that charge back may take in
the Navy in response to initiatives by the General Accounting Office and the
Office of Management and Budget are discussed.
