Wyer includes eight guidelines for cost control based on six groups of patterns of cost and volume relationships: 1. not related, 2. related to amount of capacity provided, 3. degree of variation clearly a function of percentage of capacity, 4. obscured by time lag, control basis, or accounting, 5. uneven surge costs, and 6. inadequate capacity costs, e.g. overtime).
