Trends and Associated Causal Factors For Costs of Work Performed During Naval Ship Overhauls For Selected Equipments.

Abstract : This report presents the results of a study conducted to review cost trends during ship overhauls for selected equipments on the DDG-2 ship class from 1970 to 1979. The objective of the study was to analyze observed cost growth (or lack of growth) for like systems or components having representative and simple bounded work efforts. Contributory factors such as direct labor productivity, changes in production support activities, and the effects of program and policy changes were analyzed and, when possible, quantified. (Author)
