OSTI ID:7289600
A computer-assisted cost estimating system (LACCE) has been under development at LASL and is intended to improve the cost advice that is provided to managers. Compared to a manual system, an improvement in production time of the original estimate and a significant improvement in response time to subsequent alternates is expected. In addition, the impact of design and scope changes throughout the life of the project will be recorded against a detailed rather than gross model of the project. LACCE is a 33,000-line Fortran code and operates interactively on our CDC 6600 under NOS and incorporates two on-line data bases for system assemblies as well as construction tasks. Off-line data bases are maintained for periodic updates of the on-line system. Total disk storage for on-line data bases is in the order of several million bytes. Delivery of the prototype is scheduled for the end of August of this year with the data bases shortly thereafter.
