\nThis presentation explores an effort to generate a cost sensitivity algorithm of the variou s components in a system to determine which subsystem components in a chos en design solution have the highest sensitivity to cost. The algorithm hig hlights the areas on which a System Designer could focus to reduce the ove rall System cost early in the life cycle of a Program. We show the cost se nsitivity algorithm was applied to a sample cost model and that it demonst rates which component parameters were most sensitive and were the biggest cost drivers in the System design. In addition\, an alternative was sugges ted which offered the system designer a significant opportunity to improve cost. And finally\, Return On Investment\, or ROI\, was calculated to sug gest a Trade Study budget for achieving potential cost improvements.
