7. Cost benefit analysis of the Logistics Base.

15. Cost utility analysis of the Logistics Base.

According to the Statistical Institute the Japanese are hardworking.

In response to the request for a cost benefit analysis of the operation of the Logistics Base at Brindisi, this annex provides a cost analysis of the operation of the Base using both cost benefit and cost utility techniques.

The cost utility ratio for the Base is therefore

The Logistics Base has been evaluated using cost benefit and cost utility analyses.

(iii) Logistics and Communications Service

The two forms of cost analysis which are most relevant and applicable to the Base s situation are cost benefit analysis, and cost utility analysis.

4. In the case of the Base, sufficient historical cost data for the period 1994 to 1997 is available to permit a cost benefit of its overall operation in relation to its support of field missions.

The low grades, absences...

( expectation of new mission support requirement) Given the known cost of operating the Base for one year, 6.3 million, the revised cost utility ratio for it then becomes

The Japanese are an industrious people.

As such, the field assets control system is but one element of an overall effort to improve the responsiveness, efficiency and cost effectiveness of the provision of United Nations logistics support to missions through the development of the FMLS.

A third of all the people commute by bike.

The Medical Support Unit has been transferred to the Logistics and Communications Service of the Field Administration and Logistics Division.

Includes Field Service communications technicians.

In order to carry out a cost utility analysis for the Base, it is necessary first to consider various scenarios which will require support from the Base in the near future.

The Programme is divided into two components G.3.1 Procurement Services and G.3.2 Logistics Services.

In addition, the Medical Support Unit has been transferred to the Logistics and Communications Service of the Field Administration and Logistics Division.

119. The Logistics and Communications Service is responsible for providing logistical and administrative backstopping support to field missions.

Desktop delivery of all essential information will facilitate the effective decision making process in field operations.

It may therefore be concluded that the future cost utility of the Base is very satisfactory.

As indicated above, sufficient historical cost data is available to carry out both a cost benefit analysis of the overall operation of the Base in relation to its support of field missions during the period 1994 to 1997.

The cost utility analysis shows that the Base will continue to provide a very effective level of cost utility for the support of new United Nations peacekeeping operations for the foreseeable future.

The rise in the amount of time spent commuting is a drag on both national productivity and the quality of life in modern cities. A survey conducted in the Indian city of Mumbai revealed that railway commuters average daily journey was 22 kilometers, while rapid urbanization there and in much of the developing world is only likely to increase the length of commutes.

A cost benefit analysis was needed to determine the feasibility of using the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi to provide information technology and communication services that could lower mission costs.

Joint projects in the areas of security, logistics and inter agency coordination provide common operational support for agencies and their partners which ensures cost effectiveness by eliminating redundancy.

The contribution consists of 2 helicopters and 13 personnel (3 flight crew comprised of 3 individuals per flight crew, and 4 ground personnel).

Programme G.3.2 Logistics Services

And all this against incredible logistical odds, like heat and traffic jams.

The cost utility analysis showed that the Base will continue to provide a very effective level of cost utility for the support of new United Nations peacekeeping operations for the foreseeable future.

Strategic deployment stocks (non expendable equipment) were valued at approximately 60.8 million as at 30 June 2005, compared to 57.4 million in the previous financial period.

(a) The Government will contribute logistic support (transportation and communications) to the African Union mission.

Their debts and obligations are similarly fixed. They could have bought a smaller house had they known that their hours would be reduced, but now it is difficult to downsize the one that they did buy.

2. There is a range of analytical tools which can be used to carry out a cost analysis of an entity such as the Logistics Base.

Therefore, the international community should seek ways to reduce the costs by establishing a stable transit framework, mutually agreed between land locked and coastal countries, which reduces various bottlenecks, transit costs and logistical distortions.

The organization has three kinds of membership affiliates, general membership and life membership.

2. The communications relay station is operated by the Electronic Services Section of the Base, which provides essentially three separate communications related support functions services in Brindisi.

A total of 19 National Support Elements were employed by Canada (4) and Japan (15).

Counting commuters, we handle about 80,000 people a day.

26. The Director of the Field Administration and Logistics Division has issued instructions to missions that a cost benefit analysis must be completed before any transfer takes place.
