Project Cost Estimating Capability (PCEC)(MFS-33187-2)

The Project Cost Estimating Capability (PCEC) is a parametric tool for estimating the cost of unmanned spacecraft, landers, launch vehicles, crewed systems, and in-space transportation systems. It is an Excel add-in with a simple, robust, and transparent collection of cost-estimating relationships (CERs), their associated statistics, work breakdown structures, estimating templates, and other cost estimating artifacts. PCEC facilitates the investigation, selection, and use of these artifacts towards the creation of a parametric estimate for a space flight hardware system in an Excel workbook.
