Sensitivity
of M&R Estimates
to Alternative Assumptions
SANTA BARBARA, CA—February
7, 2003—A reminder
that forecasts of maintenance
and repair (M&R) requirements
using either Whitestone MARS
or other Whitestone products
are sensitive to key assumptions
regarding labor and material
costs, various markup rates,
and geographic location. As a
rule, our tools are pre-calibrated
to contain the best available
data,
but it is always advisable to
use information from actual operations.
Whitestone Research, with headquarters
in Santa Barbara, California, specializes in applied economic research
and software development. Whitestone products and services are used
every year by hundreds of major corporations, government agencies,
and public and private institutions.
