Tables of Quaternary S-Curves Based on 67%-69% R and D Curves and 67%-99% Production Curves. Volume 1.

Abstract

As the result of the introduction of changes to an operating production system, there are three separate and distinct costs that must be considered: (1) the cost of the effect of the changes, (2) the cost of the changes, and (3) the basic production cost had the changes not occurred. Cochran developed an S-Curve/log-linear curve relationship for determining item (1) above. These tables can be used to estimate items (1), (2) and (3) above. The tables may also be used to estimate the R and D prototype costs, R and D production costs, the full scale production preproduction model costs, the full scale production first unit costs, the state-of-the-art, and/or the R and D and production learning rates (curves).
