Omschrijving

Provides a practical guide to cost estimation tools, methods, and applications across complex projects

Cost estimation plays a pivotal role in informing investment and resource allocation decisions in government, industrial, and military projects. With increasingly complex systems, high-risk environments, and growing demands for accountability, the ability to develop accurate and justifiable cost models is critical. Cost Estimation: Methods and Tools is an essential, up-to-date introduction to the quantitative techniques that underpin effective cost analysis, ensuring readers gain both theoretical understanding and practical application skills.

This thoroughly revised second edition reflects the latest changes in regulations, directives, and reporting practices. It delivers clear, practical explanations of core cost estimation techniques, including regression analysis, inflation indices, learning curves, cost factors, and wrap rates. New coverage of Agile software methods highlights emerging practices and evolving needs across the field. The book equips readers to address the full spectrum of cost challenges--from research and development to production, deployment, operations and support, and finally disposal.

Combining methodological rigor and applied insight, the second edition of Cost Estimation:

Explains fundamental cost estimation techniques through accessible, step-by-step examples
Incorporates a "deeper dive" into data normalization and regression analysis
Features numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problem sets to reinforce comprehension
Highlights the use of cost models in risk assessment and uncertainty analysis
Introduces historical context and key terminology to build a solid foundation in cost estimation
Includes updated examples that reflect real-world applications across both defense and industry sectors along with a real-world cost case study.

Written by experienced practitioners and educators, Cost Estimation: Methods and Tools, Second Edition

is ideal for graduate students in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Cost Estimation, particularly in courses such as Cost Estimating and Analysis or Engineering Economics. It is equally valuable as a reference for professional cost estimators, analysts, and decision makers working in government, defense, and industry.
