In an unlimited resource environment, all designs would meet each engineering specification and customer performance requirement. Unfortunately, most businesses and organizations operate in the real world where time, funding, and other resource constraints force tough design choices. CORTEK, Inc. is an expert at analyzing the trade space of design options to achieve optimal system performance for the best value.
The key to trade space definition begins with the customer’s requirements. For system acquisition, this means fully understanding the stated key performance parameters and their objective and threshold values.
Some performance characteristics cannot be compromised, others can. Laying out those characteristics that do have a range of acceptable values sets the stage for effective “trading.”
Once the trade space is defined, CORTEK analysts adeptly conduct the layered analysis necessary to identify likely trade-offs. Cost-modeling and other affordability evaluation tools are effectively utilized, enabling thorough ‘trade-space’ negotiation. This results in sound options for acquisition management when balancing budget and performance.
With CORTEK’s support, you will have the tools to effectively and knowledgeably negotiate within your Trade Space!
