Using the Steel-Vessel Material-Cost Index to Mitigate Shipbuilder Risk

The more accurately a cost index captures a shipbuilder1s risk, the less the Navy should have to pay its shipbuilders. The Navy uses such indexes to correct for significant cost risks outside its shipbuilders1 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 A longtime material-cost index in Navy shipbuilding is the steel-vessel index, but it is outdated and volatile.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.
