Omega, 1980, vol. 8, issue 5, 553-567

Abstract: After analyzing the pre-decision considerations which led to the construction of the first float glass plant in the United States, attention is given to the detailed actual results at successive stages of operation relative to the original expectations. The following section then compares the expected and actual results of three successive plate glass plants, including the predecessor as well as the successor of the first plant utilizing the float process. Suggestions are then offered for improving the coverage and substantive content of capital decision models relating to major new facilities.
