Quantitative Pricing Methods for Warranties on Air Force Contracts. Phase 2
Abstract
This phase of the project to develop Quantitative Pricing methods fo r warranties on Air Force contracts for the Air Force Business Research Management Center (AFBRMC) required the development of a quantitative model to estimate warranty costs. This report documents the research that was conducted to develop the model, provides the rationale for selecting specific cost estimating relationships, and explains the details of the model. This report covers a series of attempts to establish warranty cost estimating relationships. We considered such elements as the impact of competition, length of development schedules, and item unit cost. Item costs emerged as a reliable predictor of warranty cost and a set of curves and supporting data is presented to explain the analysis. Three broad areas of research were conducted in order to gain new information or to update existing data. The areas of interest included: Government Programs; Commercial Airlines; Automobile Industry; Defense Contractors.
