Abstract | This paper provides highlights of and insights into the Delta III program engineering development costs. Our task involved classifying more than 6,000 accounting records from multiple facility sites into a useful cost element (CE) structure for analysis. We supplemented this activity by interviewing more than 25 people; most were integrated product team (IPT) leaders. As a result, two types of cost estimating relationships (CERs) were derived. The first is noncost-to-cost and is expressed as design engineering hours per pound of hardware design. The second is a cost- to-cost relationship where design support is calculated as a percent of design cost. Finally, we also have included sections addressing concerns and presenting recommendations. |
