Design-To-Cost: An Examination of Its Use in Weapon System
Abstract
The newness of design-to-cost in DoD acquisitions prevented the authors from making a quantitative evaluation of the success of the concept. The authors recommend that the concept be reexamined when the results of several system programs using design-to-cost are known. However, since there is presently limited information concerning the concept and its application to military procurement, the study should prove beneficial to DoD managers as they are attempting to implement design-to-cost.
