Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January, 1983, MATHTECH began an analysis of Navy Industrial Fund (NIF) Operating Support Costs for Naval Shipyards. Early in our discussions with Navy personnel, we learned that the shipyards were losing money. This study focuses on the concern regarding excessive cost growth, particularly overhead costs. For each of the eight shipyards, we analyzed the relationships and trends of direct and indirect costs and labor hours between FY79 and FY82. The Shipyard Financial and Operating (F & O) statements provide extensive data on overhead costs and were our primary data source. We began our analysis by examining shipyard cost composition and growth and found that most of the cost increases were attributable to labor increases. Then we discuss labor hour findings and review some workload indicators. The behavior of shipyard costs follows, and observations and conclusions are presented. More detailed explanations of labor hour and cost growth are addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, increases in acquisition costs for U.S. Navy combatants have outpaced the rate of inflation. To understand why, the authors of this book examined two principal source categories of ship cost escalation (economy-driven factors and customer-driven factors) and interviewed various shipbuilders. Based on their analysis, the authors propose some ways the Navy might reduce ship costs in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report examines the investment cost of US naval ships in order to determine whether alternative procurement practices might lead to reduced costs. The analysis was limited to privately owned shipyards in the United States and other selected countries and was only concerned with that portion of the work carried out in the shipyard (i.e., it did not consider Government-furnished equipment). The report identifies three ways in which the procurement cost of US naval ships could be reduced. First, research indicated that between 1951 and 1965 the US Navy could have aggregated its ship purchasing so as to realize fully those cost reductions typically associated with volume procurement. Second, the US naval shipbuilding industry could have exhibited more efficiency than it did given US factor costs. Third, the US Navy could purchase ships from selected foreign shipbuilders at reduced cost. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last several years, we have monitored cost growth on Navy ship construction contracts and have testified and issued several reports on the subject (see 'Related GAO Products' at the end of this report). This report updates the status of the cost growth, describes trends in that growth, and discusses recent actions to finance additional costs and the implications of future cost growth. About 90 percent of the dollar value of the Navy ships under construction as of July 1991 can be accounted for in fixed-price incentive contracts with commercial shipyards. A fixed-price incentive contracts with commercial shipyards. A fixed-price incentive contract establishes a target cost and profit, a ceiling price, and a share formula that is used to determine the cost to the Navy and the profit earned by the shipyard. The target cost-a negotiated estimate of the ship's actual cost-and target profit-the profit the shipyard should earn if the contract is completed at the target cost-can be adjusted by mutual agreement as work progresses, in which case the Navy is responsible for any additional expense. The target price is the sum of the target cost and the target profit. The ceiling price-generally 120 to 135 percent of the target cost-is the maximum amount the Navy will pay on the contract. The Navy and the shipyard share any over-target costs that exceed current target costs up to the ceiling price based on a formula that is negotiated as part of the contract.
