Paper Title: 
1068. Will Design-To-Cost Work Over the Long Haul?
Year: 
1975
Paper Number: 
1068
Abstract: 

Design-to-cost has become a popular government procurement discipline, and is considered by proponents as the means bywhich future cost effective weapon systems will be acquired. The subject address relates design-to-cost philosophies with real world problems, and clearly establishes mutual industry/government responsibilities. The analysis reveals significant problem areas which require resolution by both government and industry, if design-to-cost is to become a viable procurement discipline. Problem analysis areas include: * Typical government program cost history * Basic causes of program cost growths * Where the major cost avoidance leverage must be applied * What is required to accurately predict and control cost * Comparisons of design-to-cost applications to a commercial producer * Application of design-to-cost as a life cycle requirement * What is required to ensure positive long term design-to-cost results.
