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 A longtime material-cost index in Navy shipbuilding is the steel-vessel index, but it is outdated and volatile.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. 410 0$aTechnical report (Rand Corporation) ;$vTR-520-NAVY. 606 $aShipbuilding$xCosts 606 $aShipbuilding$xMaterials 606 $aShips, Iron and steel 615 0$aShipbuilding$xCosts. 615 0$aShipbuilding$xMaterials. 615 0$aShips, Iron and steel. 676 $a338.4/7/62382 701 $aKeating$b Edward G$g(Edward Geoffrey),$f1965-$01027242 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Defense.$bOffice of the Secretary of Defense. 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220081403321 996 $aUsing the steel-vessel material-cost index to mitigate shipbuilder risk$92442577 997 $aUNINA
