Tables of Quarternary S-Curves Based on 79%-81% R and D Curves and 67%-99% Production Curves. Volume 5.

Abstract

The Quaternary S-Curve was designed for cost-quantity adjustments necessary under these conditions: (1) when a cost estimate for a change in the production phase is needed and the production cost had there been no change is needed and (2) a relationship is needed to estimate R and D prototype costs, R and D production costs, full scale production preproduction model costs, and full scale production first unit costs. The estimates in (1) are particularly useful in negotiating changes to contracts. The relationships in (2) are useful in estimating Design To Unit Production Costs from cost-quantity data available in the R and D phase. (Author)
