Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of R&D laboratories. The methods are applied to: (1) determining the input and output variables and (2) weighting and measuring the subjective variables. The results of the study indicate that laboratory effectiveness can be meaningfully quantified and hence evaluated. Further experimentation will be aimed at specific application to the Department of Defense’s Project REFLEX laboratory evaluation.
