Section 794 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, October 1984 requires that written guaranties be obtained in connection with the procurement of weapon systems. Implementing DOD guidance requires that the contractor bear the cost of all materials and labor needed to achieve the contractual performance required. No third party or consequential damages are covered. Two types of guaranty are covered: One to insure conformity of design and manufacturing methods to specified performance requirements; and one for freedom from defects in materials and workmanship which would cause failure to achieve specified performance requirements. The second is a separate guaranty to be attached to delivered end items for a specified period of time. The contractor planning for such a contract needs a basis for estimating his repair liability under the guaranty provisions of the contract, and to use such information to influence equipment design for decreased support cost. This paper describes how learning curves can be used for guidance in this process.
