| Abstract | This four volume report consists of a data base describing "surrogate" automobile and truck manufacturing plants developed as part of a methodology for evaluating capital investment requirements in new manufacturing facilities to build new fleets of automobiles. The report describes the data base, its past uses and potential applications. Separately bound appendices contain the actual data base information. The surrogate plants are typical of automotive manufacturing plants in terms of size, production rates, manufacturing processes, technological sophistication and flexibility. The data for a particular type of surrogate plant, while not representing any specific plant, provides information that, when appropriately aggregated or scaled, will yield accurate industry statistics. |
