Producibility Evaluation Criteria Cost Estimating Computer Programs - Manual
Abstract
This manual has been prepared to describe the use of a number of computer programs that have been developed for evaluating the producibility and desirability of different ship design alternatives. These programs are included on a floppy disk which accompanies this manual. The background of their development is descibed in reference 1 and will not be repeated here. This manual is intended as a How-To document and consequently will be presented primarily in the second person as if giving hands-on advice, looking over your shoulder. The description which follows assumes familiarity with entering data into personal computers. Specifically, rather than stating press the enter key each time that this statement is required, this will be assumed to be understood whenever the direction to enter data is given The commands to be entered will be shown in this manual in bold capitals, but when actually entering commands or data, lower case may be used. Whenever a line on a screen asks for entry of a single letter choice from several listed possibilities, such a Y or N for yes or no, the default choice will be bracketed by the <> symbols. In such cases, the enter key may be processed to select the default choice. The floppy disk which accompanies this manual includes the GW-BASIC application on the main directory. The programs on the disk are filed in one of the three subdirectories, which are identified as COST , PROD and DECH. Chapter 2 of this Manual addresses the use of the programs in the COST subdirectory, Chapters 3 and 4 address the programs in the PROD subdirectory and Chapter 5 describes the use of the DEC subdirectory files.
