Book Synopsis Development of Cost Estimating Relationships for Missile Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) Costs and Warship Fuel Consumption by : Sandra A. Williams
Download or read book Development of Cost Estimating Relationships for Missile Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) Costs and Warship Fuel Consumption written by Sandra A. Williams and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to develop estimating relationships for missile Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) costs and warship fuel consumption to aid the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCA) in performing independent cost estimates for new weapons programs. Standard factors, which represent the percent that each cost element is typically allocated from the program's total funding, are currently used to predict whether missile EMD costs are roughly right. For fuel consumption, estimating relationships have only been developed for existing individual ship types. None have been developed which use pooled ship types to estimate fuel consumption of new ship types. Regression analysis was used to develop estimating relationships based on physical and technical characteristics. The cost estimating relationships (CERs) developed to predict missile EMD costs explained only about 34 percent of the variance. Due to the low explanatory power, no significant physical or technical factors could be determined. Even though the results are not statistically significant, the associated coefficients of variation are lower than the standard factor coefficients of variation. An estimating relationship with high explanatory power was developed to predict fuel consumption for new warships. Three significant physical and performance factors were determined: steaming hours, age and full load displacement. For new ship types, steaming hours and full load displacement are the significant factors. Cost estimating relationships, Missile engineering manufacturing development (EMD) costs, Warship fuel consumption.
Book Synopsis Estimation of Destroyer Type Naval Ship Procurement Costs by :
Download or read book Estimation of Destroyer Type Naval Ship Procurement Costs written by and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents three models by which the total procurement cost of Destroyer and Destroyer Escorts may be estimated. One model uses 9 subsystem cost estimating relationships (CERs) to obtain a total cost estimate; the second model uses 4 subsystem CERs; the final model is a single total cost equation. The CERs were developed using the linear least squares regression technique on a data base of ships built from 1954-66. The CERs use input variables that may be determined long before actual ship construction begins. This fact, and the precision of the model estimates, recommend usage of these models in cost-effectiveness analysis. The Patrol Frigate Project is used as a sample application, wherein model estimates compare favorably with the current NAVSHIPS cost estimates. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAVSEA Cost Estimating Handbook (2005) *Printed in Black and White to reduce cost* Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEASYSCOM or NAVSEA) explains how a NAVSEA cost estimate is an assemblage of separate, distinct, and subordinate parts and each subordinate part is treated as a whole to be separated into its elements for examination, modification, and/or updating before becoming a part of a total estimate. The NAVSEA cost estimating process is at once analytical and synthesizing in nature using established methods and valid data, to estimate the future costs of a program, based on what is known today. It is an organized approach designed to accurately calculate the future costs of ships, submarines, and weapons systems. The management of a cost estimate involves continually updating the estimate with actual data as they become available, revising the estimate to reflect changes, and analyzing differences between estimated and actual costs-for example, using data from a reliable earned value management (EVM) system. Anyone that has ever managed a project knows the value of a good cost estimate.The ability to generate reliable cost estimates is a critical function, necessary to support the NAVSEA capital programming process. Without this ability NAVSEA is at risk of experiencing cost overruns, missed deadlines, and performance shortfalls-all recurring problems that program assessments too often reveal. Furthermore, cost increases often mean that NAVSEA cannot fund as many programs as intended or deliver them when promised. The methodology outlined in this guide is a compilation of best practices that federal cost estimating organizations and industry use to develop and maintain reliable cost estimates throughout the life of a NAVSEA acquisition program.

Book Synopsis A Parametric Cost Model for Estimating Operating and Support Costs of U. S. Navy (Non-Nuclear) Surface Ships by : James M. Brandt
Download or read book A Parametric Cost Model for Estimating Operating and Support Costs of U. S. Navy (Non-Nuclear) Surface Ships written by James M. Brandt and published by . This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With few effective decision-making tools to assess the affordability of major weapon systems, management of total ownership costs is continually misunderstood. Cost analysis provides a quick and reliable assessment of affordability. Because there is no standardized method for calculating reliable estimates of operating and support (O&S) costs (the principal component of total ownership cost), this thesis formulates a parametric cost model which can be used to determine the annual O&S costs of U.S. Navy (non-nuclear) surface ships based on known (or assumed) physical characteristics and manpower expectations. Source data for the cost model is obtained from the Navy Visibility and Management of O&S Costs (VAMOSC) database, a historical cost database maintained by the Naval Center for Cost Analysis (NCCA). Through standard regression and data analysis techniques, cost estimating relationships are developed for three major cost drivers: ship light displacement, ship overall length, and ship manpower. The formulated parametric cost model is a top-level and fairly reliable representation of average annual O&S cost, and it can be used by the DOD cost community to perform component cost analyses or independent cost estimates.
Book Synopsis Improving the Parametric Method of Cost Estimating Relationships of Naval Ships by : Jeremy Ungtae Lee
Download or read book Improving the Parametric Method of Cost Estimating Relationships of Naval Ships written by Jeremy Ungtae Lee and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of recent military budget cuts, there has been a recent focus on determining methods to reduce the cost of Navy ships. A RAND National Defense Research Institute study showed many sources of cost escalation for Navy ships. Among them included characteristic complexity of modem Naval ships, which contributed to half of customer driven factors. This paper focuses on improving the current parametric cost estimating method used as referenced in NAVSEA's Cost Estimating Handbook. Currently, weight is used as the most common variable for determining cost in the parametric method because it's a consistent physical property and most readily available. Optimizing ship design based on weight may increase density and complexity because ship size is minimized. This paper will introduce electric power density and outfit density as additional variables to the parametric cost estimating equation and will show how this can improve the early stage cost estimating relationships of Navy ships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War naval procurement for the US Navy has seen a dramatic decrease. This decrease in defense spending has placed existing programs under more scrutiny than previous years. As a result there is less tolerance on the part of taxpayers and Congress for procurement cost growth. This Thesis attempts to examine the current method that the Navy conducts ship cost estimates and suggests changes in order to improve the confidence level and accuracy of the forecasts. An examination of how industry is conducting cost estimates was used as a comparison to the current Navy practices. Finally using only a weight based approach to ship cost estimating is insufficient. It is necessary to develop and use a model that incorporates other cost driving factors in order to develop estimates of sufficient quality at the preliminary design level.

Book Synopsis Simple Relationships for Estimating Procurement Cost of U.S. Navy Ship Categories by : Pythagoras Cutchis
Download or read book Simple Relationships for Estimating Procurement Cost of U.S. Navy Ship Categories written by Pythagoras Cutchis and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common first step in estimating costs of naval ship categories is to use a linear relationship based on ship displacement. Such estimates represent rough initial approximations. This process can be used, however, with better accuracy to estimate the cost of procurement of aggregations of naval ships and classes. Cost estimating relationships (CERs) are developed in this paper for such applications.
