Integrating Cost Estimating with the Ship Design Process

Laurent Deschamps and Charles Greenwell, SPAR Associates, Inc. Integrating cost Estimating with the Ship Design Process ABSTRACT The ship Design Process is an evolutionary Process where at the conceptual Design level, pre Milestone A for Naval acquisition programs, few details are know and the metrics used for Estimating costs are based on analogous platforms and limited parametric functions. As the Design Process continues towards Milestone B the Design begins to take shape with fewer analogies and an increasing number of parametric cost drivers. At this point, 80% of the life cycle costs (LCC) are set and the cost risk associated with the Design becomes an important piece of the overall acquisition costs.
