Reducing Work Content in Early Stage Naval Ship Designs (Briefing Charts).

摘要

The Problem: AT&L (2013) analyses of cost and schedule growth on Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) over last 20 years: Premature contracting without understanding design issues greatly affects contract work content and cost growth. Early work content stability predicts lower total cost, work content, and schedule growths. Contract work content growth dominates total cost growth. Cost over target reflects poor performance, poor estimation, or faulty framing assumptions.
