Cost As an Independent Variable (CAIV) Cost As an Independent Variable (CAIV) is an acquisition philosophy that emphasizes keeping system Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) within an established range by trading the other system acquisition variables of performance or schedule.
Contractual implementation of CAIV can be facilitated by a systems engineering cost control process in designing the system. It is important that a contractor's detailed design and cost target flowdown activities are consistent with approved program CAIV objectives.
