SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: Cost\, Demand\, and Financial CATscans
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon: \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA June 2026 Luncheon: Cost\, Demand\, and Financial CATscans\nPRESENTED BY: Doug Howarth\nTIME: June 11\, 2026 | 12:00 to 1:00pm Eastern \nSUMMARY\nIn the estimating world\, the focus is on costs\, which is normal\, as runaway costs can sink any program. Less well understood is the relationship among costs\, features\, and the Quantity produced for any given project. Specifically\, the Value of various product features is seldom compared to their costs\, as these are constrained by demand and learning curves\, both of which can change. This paper offers a solution that; it first captures and then reduces these terms. Financial CATscans take representative 2D Demand Planes (with Quantity and Price as dimensions) and discover Demand Frontiers. That Frontier sets the Price-Quantity limits. If we pick a target Quantity\, we set a limiting Price. A Price limit\, in turn\, reveals an adjacent 3D Value Space (with Feature 1\, Feature 2\, and Price as dimensions). Financial CATscans reveal how to reduce the resulting 4D systems to a single term that sets product specifications. \nSpeaker:\nDoug Howarth\, a Keynote for Chartwell Speakers\, discovered Hypernomics\, a field that studies markets in 4+ dimensions. He’s published 16 papers and won 5 awards from the International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA)\, including the Best Paper Overall award. His publications stretch across four continents. He’s addressed NASA three times and the Royal Aeronautical Society four times. His company\, Hypernomics Inc.\, worked for NASA\, Virgin Galactic\, and Lockheed Martin. He co-holds US Patent 10\,402\,838 for the world’s first 4D analytic software. He’s been interviewed by Forbes and Inc. magazines. Wiley published his book Hypernomics: Using Hidden Dimensions to Solve Unseen Problems in 2024\, which reached No. 1 in Macroeconomics on Amazon \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin:  \nhttps://teams.microsoft.com/meet/234160467740184?p=cuJWTcbOih18ZT46fE \nMeeting ID: 234 160 467 740 184\nPasscode: nm78oT7P\nNeed help? | System reference \nDial in by phone\n+1 929-352-1792\,\,556095181# United States\, New York City \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 556 095 181#

SUMMARY:When History Rhymes: Cost Estimating Lessons from Seven Legacy Aircraft
DESCRIPTION:ICEAA is excited to expand our selection of QED Webinars for our members to continue to enjoy ICEAA membership with the purchase of the Professional Development Package. Join ICEAA and the Southern California Chapter Thursday\, June 18\, 2026 for a one-time free broadcast of When History Rhymes: Cost Estimating Lessons from Seven Legacy Aircraft\, the winner of the 2026 Best Paper in the Modeling & Trending Topics Category and 2026 Best Paper Overall\, by Brent Johnstone: \nEvery historical aircraft program carries a narrative that can inform present day cost estimating. By “reading” the manufacturing learning curves of seven legacy aircraft (F-102\, F-106\, B-58\, F-111\, L-188\, P-3\, and L-1011) we uncover recurring themes confirming the adage that history does not repeat itself\, but it does rhyme. This study identifies quantitative and qualitative lessons from these legacy programs\, revealing how design changes\, delivery rate fluctuations\, production gaps\, end of program tail-up\, and the knowledge transfer across multiple variants shaped cost curves. The analysis confirms that even decades-old programs can provide actionable insights for today’s estimators\, offering a framework to anticipate cost drivers\, calibrate learning curve models\, and improve forecasting accuracy for current and future aircraft estimates. \nUnlike ICEAA’s usual webinars\, this presentation will not be made available on our YouTube channel\, but will be an option for new and renewing members to choose as part of the Professional Development Package\, or can purchase access to the recording for $100 (discounted rate for members\, $25). \nRSVP for the exclusive free webinar showing at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/axHOvjjlSNi6GrlajSLICQ

SUMMARY:2026 Cost Challenge Winners: Team Boeing
DESCRIPTION:ICEAA hosted our 4th Cost Challenge at our 2026 Professional Development & Training Workshop in Norfolk\, Virginia\, a historic waterfront city shaped by naval logistics\, shipbuilding\, and America’s earliest colonial roots\, not far from the first permanent English settlement in North America: Jamestown. Four hundred and nineteen years later\, the world’s imagination is captured by settling a new frontier: Mars. What would it take to plan\, deliver\, operate\, and grow a permanent settlement in an extreme environment with long supply lines\, limited rescue options\, and major uncertainty? \nOur teams of junior cost estimators (all of whom had 3 or fewer years of experience) presented their estimates for the cost of establishing and sustaining New Jamestown\, the first human settlement on Mars starting in 2050\, including transportation\, infrastructure\, life support\, operations\, R&D/technology\, and future expansion capability. We encouraged the teams to think of the ways New Jamestown would mirror original Jamestown\, particularly when it comes to building a new settlement from scratch while isolated in a hostile environment\, and how they would evolve a starter outpost to a robust base with around 400 inhabitants over ten years. \nJoin us to see how our 2026 Cost Challenge Teams assessed\, analyzed\, and approached the exciting adventure of New Jamestown!  The 2026 Challenge Winning team from Boeing will give their presentation for the membership at noon (eastern) on Tuesday\, July 14!

SUMMARY:WCA Chapter Virtual Luncheon: Weighted Residuals in CER Development Using Escalation Indices
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month’s Washington Capital Area Chapter (WCAC) International Cost Estimating and Analysis Association (ICEAA) Luncheon: \nSUBJECT: WCAC ICEAA July 2026 Luncheon: Weighted Residuals in CER Development Using Escalation Indices \nPRESENTED BY: Timothy P. Anderson \nTIME: July 29\, 2026 | 12:00 to 1:00pm Eastern \nSUMMARY\nTypical CERs contain older data points (1980s era) and newer data points (2020s era)\, along with everything in between\, with older data points carrying just as much weight in the CER development process as newer data points. But manufacturing techniques\, acquisition practices\, and systems engineering processes have changed over time\, which could impact cost. Moreover\, the older the data point\, the more it is subject to adjustment for escalation in the normalization process\, so older actual costs are less accurate than newer actual costs because escalation adjustment factors are themselves estimated values. Therefore\, older data should be less impactful in the CER development process than newer data. This paper describes a robust weighting process\, based on escalation indices\, that enables cost analysts to use all relevant data points in the CER development process while simultaneously de-emphasizing those with less importance\, and emphasizing those with greater importance \nSpeaker:\nTimothy P. Anderson is an expert senior cost analyst at KBR\, with over 30 years of experience\, supporting one of KBR’s key government customers. Prior to joining KBR\, Mr. Anderson was a Principal Engineer at The Aerospace Corporation where he previously served as the Director of the Integrated Cost and Schedule Analysis Department\, and prior to that\, as the Aerospace Director of NASA Program Assessments. Mr. Anderson is also a highly respected member of the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School’s Systems Engineering Department\, teaching master’s level courses in cost estimation\, risk analysis\, and operations research. \n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/212875068709520?p=4ZndrNobU130sZzs4C \nMeeting ID: 212 875 068 709 520 \nPasscode: Yz2bA7DD \nNeed help? | System reference \nDial in by phone \n+1 929-352-1792\,\,966681961# United States\, New York City \nFind a local number \nPhone conference ID: 966 681 961#
