Controlling Accelerator Engineering Costs

Cost control for accelerator engineering involves task definition, planning related expenditures, measuring progress, tabulation of costs and projections, and, most important of all, follow-up for corrections. Accelerator engineering costs are best regulated by the accelerator engineer, since those who are in any way detached from the work cannot exercise the most effective control. The accelerator engineer should be assisted by providing him with an effective system, appropriate forms and reports, and administrative support.
