Tables of Quaternary S-Curves Based on 94%-96% R and D Curves and 67%-99% Production Curves. Volume 10.

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 phototype 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. This report contains: Table of 94% R and D curves; Table of 95% R and D curves; Table of 96% R and D curves.
