3RD ANNUAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING & SUPPORTABILITY CONFERENCE The Systems Engineering & Supportability Conference: "Strategies for Reducing Total Ownership Costs": October 23-26, 2000 in San Diego, CA. Reducing Total Ownership Cost (RTOC) continues to be a key objective of the Department of Defense (DoD) as weapon system lifecycles are extended and operation and support costs dominate the budget. The Systems Engineering Committee has established that the greatest opportunity to achieve this objective for new and legacy systems is through a robust Systems Engineering methodology and process. The Systems Engineering and Supportability Conference is an annual event targeted at exploring this relationship. This Conference seeks to create a forum for Program Managers, Systems Engineers, Chief Scientists, and Engineers and Managers from the Design, Verification, Support and Logistics communities from both Government and Industry to interact. The conference will provide the opportunity to shape policy and procedures by exchanging innovative tactics and lessons learned in advancing the Revolution in Business Affairs.
