Book excerpt: The Congressional Budget Office has analyzed the impact of operation and support and other types of costs on the total life-cycle costs of four classes of Navy ships. The analysis, which aims to provide context for assessing the costs of the new littoral combat ship (LCS), focuses on the following ship programs: MCM-1 Avenger class mine countermeasures ships, FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry class guided missile frigates, DDG-51 Flight IIA Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers, and CG-47 Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers. CBO chose those four classes because they have been in the fleet for decades, data for them are readily available, and they all conduct at least one mission that the LCS is also expected to perform. Using the Department of Defense's definitions of cost categories, CBO calculated costs over the life of each type of ship in the following six categories: Research and development, Procurement, Personnel, Fuel, Other operations and support, and Disposal. The resulting total life-cycle cost is smaller than the total ownership cost of a ship, which would also include indirect personnel costs (such as for recruiting, training, and medical support) and long-term infrastructure costs (for changes in bases, housing, and other infrastructure associated with a large-scale change in the size of the Navy). CBO does not have a reliable method to estimate those additional costs, however, so it limited its analysis to a ship's life-cycle cost.

This book was released on 1996-09-01 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project management is very important to many industrial and governmental organizations. For governmental organizations, projects are vehicles for growth and improvement. In the Indonesian Navy for example, project management is needed to develop new warships, such as destroyers or submarines. The goal of project management is to ensure a high quality result. Generally speaking, quality is defined as adherence to specifications and high quality is defined as exceeding those specifications. Not meeting the specifications is unacceptable quality. For a project like building a warship, the Total Life Cycle Cost can be considered primarily as a function of four things: design, construction, operation and maintenance. The selection of the design and the contractor are one time decisions and cannot be changed over the life of the ship. In contrast, operation and maintenance are on-going management decisions, yet they are largely determined by the design selected and the quality of the contractor's work. To have the lowest Total Life Cycle Cost, the right design and the right contractor must be selected. This thesis develops a Design Review Checklist and a Contractor Review Checklist that can be used in reviewing the contractor's design and the contractor's quality management capabilities.

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: Proponents of arms control and disarmament are often confronted with the argument that reductions in defense expenditure lead to cutbacks in military industries and thus to economic hardship. While a reduction in defense production would cause some economic dislocation, this would be mitigated by the ability of the economy to adapt to changing patterns of production. This book, first published in 1983, assesses the likely effects of reductions in defense industries by an examination of the roles these industries play in national economies. Each chapter discusses industry employment, output, research and development, capital value, profitability, concentration and competition, internal organization and regional employment concentration. Other questions considered include the economic importance of weapons exports, the defense industry as a ‘leading edge’ in maintaining national technological capabilities, and the reliance of individual firms on defense contracting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Navy plans to spend about $28 billion to buy 55 Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) and at least 64 interchangeable mission packages to perform one of three missions ¿ mine countermeasures, antisubmarine warfare, and surface warfare ¿ in waters close to shore. The Navy has been developing two different LCS seaframes and plans to select one for production in 2010. Due to the small 78-person crew size ¿ 40 core crew, 23 for aviation detachment, and typically 15 for mission packages ¿ the Navy is developing new concepts for personnel, training, and maintenance. This report assessed the extent to which DoD has: (1) estimated LCS long-term operating and support costs; and (2) developed plans to operate and support LCS. Illustrations.
