The SIBYL/COST subsystem is used by logistics and financial analysts to develop cost projections of labor and hardware requirements for the preparation of Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) Spares Proposals, SSME Program Operating Plans (POP), and special engine cost studies.
SIBYL/COST does the following:
- Makes program resource requirements projections
- Identifies potential program threats and associated costs
- Evaluates scope adjustments to meet funding levels
- Supports decision packages for PRE and POST POP exercises
- Provides sufficient detail to support subsequent year operating plans, team budgets, and contract changes.
Pricing/financial/logistics analysts and team members use SIBYL/COST to determine multi-year labor hour and cost projections. The analyst starts the program by opening a new data file, which provides default component names, configurations, hardware schedule, and tables such as accounting hours and ogives. The team members then enter discrete data based on a hardware schedule provided by the financial analyst. As each team's data become available, the financial analyst imports the team's discrete data into a central data file. Upon completion of this process, the financial analyst generates a multi-year projection of labor hours and costs.
SIBYL/COST carries the NASA case number MFS-30139. It was originally released as part of the COSMIC collection.
