20140278819 | Alternate Scenario Analysis for Project Management - A system for generating and analyzing alternate project management scenarios at a high level, or a “What If Tool” (WIT) System. The WIT System enhances project management tools by providing simple and reversible scenario generation, analysis, and comparison for complex projects and portfolios. The WIT System imports and transforms the project management information from an external project management tool into collections at a user-defined level while retaining relevant constraints and relationships. The WIT System allows the user to generate and compare alternate constraint and timeline scenarios at a high level without involving all detailed elements of the original project management information, which is often time and cost prohibitive. The differences between scenarios may be visualized and reported to enhance the decision making process. The WIT System also allows the original project management information to be updated based on a scenario. | 09-18-2014 |
20140278711 | Systems Engineering Lifecycle Cost Estimation - An engineering lifecycle cost estimation system, or EDGE System. The engineering lifecycle cost estimation system allows users to make engineering decisions based on graded evaluations of lifecycle costs (“EDGE”). Embodiments of the EDGE System allow users to analyze major design options during initial system development, optimize system details during final system development and construction, and manage system operation and maintenance over the life of the system. Embodiments of the EDGE System allow users to define a system in terms of the components included in the system, define alternative systems, calculate lifecycle costs for a system or component, and visualize the lifecycle costs, timelines, and other information for systems and components. The visualizations allow users to easily analyze and compare alternative systems or components and make informed decisions. A limited access portal allows clients to manage systems and obtain current lifecycle cost estimates while preserving the integrity of the underlying data. | 09-18-2014 |
