Lebel, USN LCDR Gilbert P. Uy, USN Thesis Advisors: Geraldo Ferrer, Professor Simona Tick, Lecturer Graduate School of Business & Public Policy Naval Postgraduate School Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Prepared for the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA 93943.

To request defense acquisition research, to become a research sponsor, or to print additional copies of reports, please contact any of the staff listed on the Acquisition Research Program website (www.acquisitionresearch.net). Acquisition Research Program Graduate School of Business & Public Policy Naval Postgraduate School ABSTRACT With the object of ensuring that all ordnance magazines in Hawaii are in compliance with NOSSA regulations, this project conducts a systematic cost of compliance analysis to identify the pros and cons of either constructing new magazines at West Loch and consolidating ordnance operations from Lualualei to West Loch, or only upgrading the ordnance magazines in Lualualei. This analysis is performed from the perspective of the Department of Defense in order to capture all costs and benefits associated with the Army and Navy, the main stakeholders in this study. The project developed a cost of compliance decision support model in Excel to systematically examine the relative strengths and weaknesses of the available alternative options.
