Abstract
A method for charging for services provided to manufacturing companies is disclosed. Manufacturing areas where the production of proper products depends on the manufacturing equipment being set up appropriately are particularly targeted. The present method preferably includes a provider and a manufacturer such that the provider eliminates the risk of variable costs associated with setting up the manufacturer's manufacturing machines. The provider provides the manufacturer with a procedure to use when setting up a manufacturing process. The provider also provides a guarantee to the manufacturer. The guarantee preferably states that if the manufacturer follows the procedure, the manufacturing process will require less than a prescribed number of tests to get the target metrics of the product into an acceptable range. If the manufacturing process requires more than the prescribed number of tests, then the provider is required to pay the manufacturer a first agreed upon sum. In exchange for the guarantee, the manufacturer agrees to pay the provider a second agreed upon sum.
