Application of a Cost/Performance Measurement System on a Research Aircraft Project

Series:

The fundamentals of the cost/performance management system used in the procurement of two tilt rotor aircraft for a joint NASA/Army research project are discussed. The contractor's reporting system and the GPO's analyses are examined. The use of this type of reporting system is assessed. Recommendations concerning the use of like systems on future projects are included. Diehl, J. J. Ames Research
