Manpower Cost Analysis Analyze The Problem Analyze the Problem How many projects will I need to develop? How many different scenarios am I analyzing? How many units will each system platform need to contain to do the analysis? What do these units look like (how many people by skill and grade?) Do I need to develop a new cost file for any of the projects or will the default costs work? Do I need to add special training, add or delete special/incentive pays, deselect non-Navy costs or indirect costs?
