A Guide for Prototype Quantity Selection.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop an objective, quantified guideline to assist a decision maker in determining the appropriate number of prototypes that he should have to accomplish the testing program. Tables and graphs were constructed by using the concepts of the Binomial Probability Distribution. Case examples are also included to explain actual program application. It was found reasonable to use the Binomial model for a majority of prototyping applications.
