The Impact of the Packard Commission’s Recommendations on Reducing Cost Overruns on Defense Acquisition Contracts : Acquisition Review Quarterly , 1999
From the report: “We also evaluated the sensitivity of our results to contract phase (development, production) and managing Service (Army, Navy, Air Force). Because of greater uncertainties, the cost performance on development contracts is often worse than the cost performance on production contracts (Christensen, 1994). Given the different missions and requirements of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, it is possible that the Packard Commission's recommendations were implemented differently across the Services. Table 2 summarizes the relevant cost data on the contracts used in our study.”
