MII is the second generation of the Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES). It is a detail cost estimating program that was developed in conjunction with Project Time & Cost, Inc. (PT&C). MII is one of several modules of an integrated suite of cost engineering tools called Tri-Services Automated Cost Engineering System (TRACES). It interfaces with other PC based support modules and databases used by the Tri-Service Cost Engineering community.
MII provides an integrated cost estimating system (software and databases) that meets the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requirements for preparing cost estimates. Now being used by many of the USACE districts, it will soon be a requirement for all USACE districts to use MII, as well as all architect-engineering (A-E) firms performing design work for the USACE.
Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“What makes this Generation of Vermin so very Prolifick, is the indefatigable Diligence with which they apply themselves to their Business. A Man does not undergo more watchings and fatigues in a Campaign, than in the Course of a vicious Amour. As it is said of some Men, that they make their Business their Pleasure, these Sons of Darkness may be said to make their Pleasure their Business. They might conquer their corrupt Inclinations with half the Pains they are at in gratifying them.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
