Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to define areas within the costing profession which require training, based on the expert categorisation of essential knowledge types for the vncommercial and engineering activities within cost estimating (CE2). Ten knowledge types (comprising of both commercial and engineering) were identified as being essential for CE2. A lateral transfer of these cost-knowledge types is required across the CE2 existing experts, and for the professions’ novices. If the knowledge used within the costing domain is successfully transferred across it, the comprehension of the interacting cost experts, and the communication between them will increase: Resulting in the consistent production of faster, more accurate estimates. A training analysis (DIF) was performed per knowledge type, in order to determine which required formal training; and which would suffice with informal. The relevant knowledge was then grouped into training modules for development. The primary focus for this training development is within the aerospace and automotive industries.
