Book Description

This report responds to the request for cost and schedule information on ship repairs completed at shipyards in the San Diego and Long Beach areas during fiscal years 1989 to 1991. Specifically, we compared (1) the contract award prices with the final contract prices for ship repairs completed by private shipyards, (2) the government cost estimates at the start of repair with the actual costs at completion for ships completed by the Long Beach Naval Shipyard, and (3) the original completion schedules with the actual completion dates for both private and public shipyards. We also compared the cost and schedule performance of San Diego area private shipyards with no performance of Long Beach area private shipyards. We did not contrast private and public shipyards because their data bases and operations were not comparable.
