PERCEPTIONwas developed to permit cost estimating that can
reflect modern ship design and production methods.
Using product- and process-based information, cost estimates can
be generated quickly and accurately at any level of detail:
Cost Estimating
3
Parametric cost estimates based upon modifiable shipdesign and mission characteristics
Standard shipbuilding & ship repair interim products &
services
Detail cost estimates based upon engineered bills of material
and equipment specifications.

System Benefits1. PERCEPTIONhas flexible features to address almost any
estimating situation, whether for commercial or government
requirements.2. PERCEPTIONoffers a toolbox of easy-to-use functions to help
the estimator expedite the process and ensure the estimate is
both complete and accurate.
4
3. PERCEPTIONallows cost data to be cataloged in convenientand easy-to-use database libraries.
4. PERCEPTIONcost libraries ensure all estimators are using
consistent information.
5. PERCEPTIONlibraries can be configured to accurately define
standard shipyard production processes to ensure every
estimate is complete, nothing is missing.
