The graphics on the left shows the conceptual view of Outsource Cost Estimation model. This model takes estimates of effort produced by an estimation model as input and applies Outsource Profiles to effort inputs to calculate the Outsource estimates. Outsource Profiles contain a number of parameters that are used in the calculation of Outsource estimates.
Outsource profiles are maintained in a master table called Outsource Profiles Master. You can create outsource profiles by supliers or by supplier and subsystems or by some other grouping.
All estimation models available in RASS Estimate include a read copy of this master table and it called Outsource Profiles Table. The Outsource Profiles Table also contains Outsource Estimates. Outsource Estimates from all estimation models are summed up to produce estimation reports.
