Case Study: NASA saves 75% of estimate time with Galorath's SEER tools

NASA saves 75% of estimate time with Galorath Incorporated

The customer NASA faced the challenge of generating a time-consuming and error-prone independent cost estimate for its Mars Exploration Rover project using a traditional bottoms-up approach. To address this, NASA worked with vendor Galorath Incorporated and utilized their SEER-H and SEER-SEM tools.

The solution implemented by Galorath used a structured costing approach, leveraging extensive knowledge bases within their SEER tools to compare the rover's components to thousands of real-world projects. This resulted in a highly accurate estimate achieved in 75% less time, saving approximately 1,000 hours. The vendor Galorath's solution also facilitated easier auditing and sensitivity analysis for the project.
