SEER for Hardware, Electronics & Systems Workshops

Core

This three-day workshop provides attendees with a complete methodology for hardware cost, schedule, and risk estimation using SEER for Hardware, Electronics & Systems. The Workshop covers topics needed to effectively evaluate the cost of alternative systems architectures and design options. Case studies and exercises provide attendees with hands-on experience.

Special topics include production learning, use of existing designs, labor rates, manufacturing considerations, design considerations, and risk analysis.

In this workshop attendees will learn how to:

  • Define hardware configurations
  • Predict the cradle-to-grave cost of a hardware project from concept through development, production, and operating support costs.
  • Quantify management and engineering decisions into labor cost, material cost, and support cost impacts
  • Use SEER HW to describe and evaluate the cost of keeping hardware maintained.
  • Develop a credible and traceable proposal for hardware development, production, and operations support
  • Evaluate vendor bids and proposals
  • Use SEER HW for IC to predict the cost of integrated circuit design alternatives, analyze yields, and evaluate vendor bids.

Advanced Power User

Advanced workshops are intended for those who have used SEER for Hardware, Electronics & Systems to develop and evaluate estimates, and are ready to move to the next level in using SEER tools to support their projects. These workshops cover specific topics, including:

  • Power-user functions for the SEER expert
  • Calibration, customization and integration features
  • Project Management
  • Estimating advanced technologies, including electro-optical sensors and integrated circuits
  • Operations & support cost estimation

Private SEER Workshops

Most SEER customers prefer to select the date and location for SEER workshops to ensure that their specific estimating and project planning concerns are addressed in a confidential environment. These workshops are priced on a per-event basis (including instructor travel expenses). Private workshops are typically more economical where multiple users can benefit from training.
