Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page 15).
Contents Using the steel-vessel material-cost index to mitigate shipbuilder risk -- How the Navy uses labor- and Material-cost indexes -- A very simple example -- A more realistic example -- The steel-vessel index -- Conclusions -- Appendix: Time-phasing material- and labor-cost indexes -- Revisiting a very simple example -- Revisiting a more realistic example.
Summary The more accurately a cost index captures a shipbuilder's risk, the less the Navy should have to pay its shipbuilders. The Navy uses such indexes to correct for significant cost risks outside its shipbuilders' control. A longtime material-cost index in Navy shipbuilding is the steel-vessel index, but it is outdated and volatile. The authors urge the Navy to develop a modern-vessel index that more appropriately represents the materials used today.
