Utilization of Performance Incentives in Production Contracting.

摘要

Contract types in general and contract incentives specifically are discussed in order to provide a foundation for an analysis of performance incentives in production contracting. Pure performance incentives and other contractor motivational methods are discussed, with emphasis on the product assurance parameters of production contracting (i.e., quality, reliability, and maintainability). Final emphasis is made on tailoring contract structure to the specific program requirements along with a recommendation concerning the use of quality and/or reliability motivators. (Author)
