This research examined the perception of foreign |
|
customers, and others familiar with FMS, that the U.S. |
|
price estimates of a case value are not very accurate |
|
when compared to the final price of the delivered |
|
material. The perception is that prices are under- |
|
estimated. The researchers compared original price |
|
estimates, from a sample of AFLC defined order cases, |
|
with their respective final delivered values to determine |
|
their accuracy. Results indicated that for defined order |
|
cases, the price estimates tend to exceed the final |
|
delivered value by more than 60 percent. The analysis |
|
stratified the sample and found that cases estimated at |
|
Ogden ALC and Ammunition cases tended to be |
|
overestimated. Results of other strata were |
|
indeterminable. A series of interviews with Foreign |
|
Liaison Officers and USAF personnel familiar with FMS |
|
were conducted in conjunction with the data collection. |
|
The interviews indicated that inaccurate price estimates |
|
cause problems but price estimates of within + or - 10 |
|
percent of the final value would be acceptable. (Author) |
