| - | A **Trade Study** is a study that identifies a preferred solution among a list of qualified solutions. The trade study will examine these solutions against criteria such as; cost, schedule, [[ddsf:private:cookbook:06_append:glossary:p:performance|performance]], weight, system configuration, complexity, the use of [[ddsf:private:cookbook:06_append:glossary:c:cots]], and many others. Trade Studies are performed throughout an acquisition program from concept development thru system design. In systems engineering, they’re primarily used to determine operational and system level requirements. | + | A **Trade Study** is a study that identifies a preferred solution among a list of qualified solutions.

| Trade studies are used in support of decision making throughout the life cycle of a program. Trade studies are conducted among operational capabilities, functional, and performance requirements, design alternatives and their related manufacturing, testing, and support processes; program schedule; and life-cycle cost to systematically examine alternatives. Once alternatives have been identified, a trade study team applies a set of decision criteria to analyze the alternatives. These criteria are ‘traded’ to determine which alternative is optimal and to be recommended. | Trade studies are used in support of decision making throughout the life cycle of a program.
