C-MAT is a detailed Cost-Benefit Decision Tool designed to take into account the full range of costs and benefits of adopting new technologies.  It compares the total costs and benefits of adopting a new technology versus staying with the existing technology.   It allows you to take into account all the up-front costs, all the down-stream benefits, and how you will go about making the changeover.  Output includes Net Present Value, Return on Investment, Internal Rate of Return and Payback Period.  Cost-based and Cash Flow-based calculations make it useful to both DoD and commercial organizations.  The User Manual Installation section tells you how to set it up.

Examples of costs

Examples of benefits/cost savings

Process and environmental cost changes

Waste reduction

Development, from R&D through qualification

Reduced repair frequency and in-process time

Specification development

Reliability, on-wing time improvement

Drawing and contract modification

Service failure and collateral damage reduction

New equipment and tooling

Inventory reduction

Decommissioning old equipment, cleanup

Warranty and insurance cost reductions

Updates and additional information on the C-MAT Decision Tool, examples, tips, etc. will be available on this page in the future. Please be sure to check back.

Technology Assessment

Technology Status Summary (measures degree of development)

Technology Gap Analysis, Technical Risk Assessment

Financial Assessment (C-MAT)

Total costs of implementing the technology

Total benefits and cost savings

Where are the  major costs and the biggest savings?

Financial risks

What-if Analysis

Business Case Analysis

Does the business case show acceptable cost, benefit and risk?

What is the best way to adopt the technology?

Overall benefit of success, risk of failure

C-MAT is part of a comprehensive Implementation Assessment methodology that allows us to determine what it will take in time, effort and money to bring a technology from its current status to full production, providing a thorough picture of its overall life cycle costs, benefits and risks.  Implementation Assessment includes the following:
