Abstract:

The guidelines developed in this study include criteria for selection of candidate systems for warranty application, a computer based cost estimating model which permits comparative evaluation of warranty versus organic maintenance costs, warranty evaluation methods, sample warranty provisions, and warranty administration procedures. A case study of the ANARN-118 TACAN procurement is presented to illustrate the application of these concepts. Author
