Advanced Composite Cost Estimating Manual. Volume I (2002)

Abstract
This program concentrated on the development of a computerized system that estimates the recurring costs associated with the fabrication of advanced composite detail parts and components. The system employs Industrial Engineering Standard equations developed in the program to calculate standard hours for the detail composite fabrication operations of layup, core preparation, part consolidation and finishing. With these standards as base, recurring costs are derived through the application of variance factors, improvement curve slopes and labor rates. (Author)
