Understanding Cost & Affordability Using SEER as a Common Benchmark, Driven By Facts

I was pleased to present at the joint CAST / Galorath event.  My paper, “Understanding Cost & Affordability Using SEER as a Common Benchmark, Driven By Facts,” covers use of parametrics as a common language for describing estimation problems and solutions.  It also points out how parametrics can be the basis of affordability trade-offs even when the final cost may be produced bottoms-up.  Additionally it illustrates how SEER parametrics combine with data and provide traceability and confidence by the facts of prior systems.  The following graphic illustrates the savings in time as well as the potential number of affordability analyses that can be done with SEER versus manually:

This briefing also touches on the Carter DoD “Better Buying Initiative” and affordability analysis to provide “will cost” analysis.
