Cost Estimation
Autor Gregory K Mislick, Daniel A Nussbaumen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mai 2015
Reținem Cost Estimation – Methods and Tools ca o resursă academică și practică de referință, publicată sub egida prestigioasei Wiley. Volumul, semnat de specialiști cu o vastă experiență în cadrul Naval Postgraduate School, oferă o abordare riguroasă a tehnicilor cantitative necesare pentru a susține deciziile analitice în managementul operațiunilor și ingineria sistemelor. Structura este concepută progresiv: începe cu o perspectivă istorică și definirea terminologiei cheie, facilitând astfel tranziția către metodele matematice complexe. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii integrează instrumentele fundamentale de estimare — de la indicii de inflație și analiza de regresie, până la curbele de învățare și factorii de cost (wrap rates). Spre deosebire de abordările pur teoretice, această lucrare pune accent pe predictibilitatea costurilor de cercetare-dezvoltare și operare, esențiale în procesele industriale moderne. Volumul extinde cadrul propus de Cost Estimating and Analysis de Thomas R. Gulledge prin includerea unor secțiuni aplicate despre utilizarea software-ului dedicat și gestionarea incertitudinii prin analiza de risc. Dacă lucrări precum Cost Analysis for Engineers and Scientists se concentrează pe contabilitatea managerială, Cost Estimation – Methods and Tools se distinge prin rigoarea matematică aplicată specific prognozei de cost pe parcursul întregului ciclu de viață al unui produs. Formatul hardback și cele peste 300 de pagini includ întrebări recapitulative la finalul fiecărui capitol, transformând textul într-un instrument pedagogic ideal pentru programele de masterat în cercetare operațională sau economie inginerească.

Cititorul câștigă o metodologie clară pentru a prezice costurile de producție și suport, utilizând instrumente matematice validate în medii complexe precum cel al apărării. Este un ghid practic ce transformă datele brute în decizii financiare fundamentate.
Descriere scurtă
Written with an easy-to-understand approach, Cost Estimation: Methods and Tools provides comprehensive coverage of the quantitative techniques needed by professional cost estimators and for those wanting to learn about this vibrant career field. Featuring the underlying mathematical and analytical principles of cost estimation, the book focuses on the tools and methods used to predict the research and development, production, and operating and support costs for successful cost estimation in industrial, business, and manufacturing processes.
The book begins with a detailed historical perspective and key terms of the cost estimating field in order to develop the necessary background prior to implementing the presented quantitative methods. The book proceeds to the fundamental cost estimation methods utilized in the field of cost estimation, including working with inflation indices, regression analysis, learning curves, analogies, cost factors, and wrap rates. With a step-by-step introduction to the practicality of cost estimation and the available resources for obtaining relevant data, Cost Estimation: Methods and Tools also features:
- Various cost estimating tools, concepts, and techniques needed to support business decisions
- Multiple questions at the end of each chapter to help readers obtain a deeper understanding of the discussed methods and techniques
- An overview of the software used in cost estimation, as well as introducing the application of risk and uncertainty analysis
- A Foreword from Dr. Douglas A. Brook, a professor from the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School who spent many years working in the Department of Defense acquisition environment
Cost Estimation: Methods and Tools is an excellent reference for academics and practitioners in decision science, operations research, operations management, business, and systems and industrial engineering, as well as a useful guide in support of professional cost estimation training and certification courses for practitioners. The book is also appropriate for graduate-level courses in operations research, operations management, engineering economics, and manufacturing and/or production processes.
