SPAR uses its ESTI-MATE software system to quickly estimate ship costs based on initial design data and to provide the impact on costs of alternate design and build strategy decisions.

In addition, ESTI-MATE produces estimates of cost risk that need to be considered and minimized.

“14-01-2005 - Ship Repair Cost EstimatingIn conjunction with the Curacao Drydock Company, Inc (CDM), Netherlands Antilles, SPAR developed a cost estimating format specifically oriented for ship repair and implemented within the PERCEPTION ESTI-MATE system.  This module, called “QuoteEasy” is based on a price catalog using an Excel-like interface.  However, its features preserve the connectivity with all other PERCEPTION functions, including automated generation of production work orders and material requisitions that set the stage for managing production operations.”

Basis for Basis for Cost Estimating LibrariesCost Estimating Libraries

The libraries of cost data used for estimating reside on SPAR’s estimating system called PERCEPTION ESTI-MATE and represents a wide cross-section of current and historical shipyard construction costs at many levels of detail.

These libraries of cost estimating relationships (CERs) are based upon a comprehensive analysis of U.S. shipbuilding costs gathered from SPAR’s working experience with a variety of shipyards, large and small, commercial and naval contractors.

Generic Cost Estimating Generic Cost Estimating RelationshipsRelationships

The libraries of cost estimating relationships (CERs) apply to a generic mid-size commercial U.S. shipyard having reasonably productive manufacturing and assembly facilities, and technical and management competence.

This generic yard employs efficient methods of work organization and has competent worker and management skills comparable with internationally competitive shipyards.

The approach to ship design and construction is partially based on insights obtained in a comprehensive evaluation of northern European shipyards.

Shipyard Productivity FactorsShipyard Productivity Factors

1. Shipyards that specialize in building combatants generally operate in a much less competitive environment. As such, they have not had the same incentives to reduce costs, as do shipyards that focus on commercial work.

2. Contracts for building combatants have more stringent documentation and quality control requirements imposed upon production processes. These requirements add considerable cost to the shipbuilding operations, even when the yard occasionally builds commercial vessels.

3. The higher costs for combatant construction may be due, to some degree, to differences in materials and complexity of design from what is generally expected for commercial ship designs.

Productivity factors may be applied to the generic commercial shipbuilding CERs. They are based upon a cross-industry analysis of cost performance data collected from various sources.

The higher costs measured from combatant builders may be identified with the following:

SPAR Cost EstimatingSPAR Cost Estimating 2020

Material costs are summarized and escalated to a common, current year set of values.

Costs assume commercial-grade shipbuilding materials and management methods.

Variations due to specific materials, equipment modules and configurations, and vendor pricing methods should be expected.

Foreign acquired equipment is subject to changes in exchange rates, which are often different from general price changes of domestic goods.

New technology also should be considered as it can affect prices significantly.

SPAR Cost EstimatingSPAR Cost Estimating 2121

Material costs also can vary, depending on the type of shipyard. Mil-Spec materials are generally regarded as being of higher standards, such as for added shock protection.

More significantly, vendors and suppliers will increase their prices to cover their added costs to provide the usually required significant military Mil-Spec documentation on their products.

Impact of Build Strategy on CostImpact of Build Strategy on Cost

The methods and organization of work by stage of construction has a very large impact upon cost.

Other cost implications can be recognized by out-sourcing selected work to specialty vendors and subcontractors that can offer better cost than using the shipyard’s own in-house resources.

Other cost-saving strategies include exploiting repeatable interim products in the ship design.

Page 24: SPAR Cost Estimating 1 Independent Cost Estimating Services SPAR Associates, Inc. 927 West Street Annapolis, MD 21401 Phone: +410-263-8593 Fax: +410-267-0503

SPAR Cost EstimatingSPAR Cost Estimating 2525

The cost estimates developed are expected to be realistic for the circumstances and environment under which the construction program would be expected to be executed. However, SPAR’s cost models provide functions for identifying cost risk.

Risk factors can be applied at any level of detail and can represent either potential cost benefits or penalties.

SPAR Cost EstimatingSPAR Cost Estimating 2727

One area of risk that always must be addressed is whether or not the shipyard will be able to fully exploit the cost savings potential of performing work at the most efficient stages of construction.

If quality and complete technical information cannot be made available at the time of pre-outfitting on unit or on block, there will always be a cost penalty paid to perform the work later on board. On board work is typically more expensive to perform than at earlier stages of construction: on unit and on block.

SPAR Cost EstimatingSPAR Cost Estimating 3131

Recurring costs include all basic construction costs for each ship. For series ship construction programs, costs are estimated for follow-on ships using estimated learning curves for labor and potential material cost savings for multiple ship projects.

The recurring cost estimate is broken down into cost categories similar to the Navy’s Ship Work Breakdown Structure (SWBS). Differences lie primarily in SWBS 200 which carries only propulsion machinery items. Piping systems for propulsion are cataloged under SWBS 500 for auxiliary systems along with all other piping systems for the ship. SWBS 300 carries all electric generation equipment for ship services, as well as all electrical distributed systems, lighting, etc.

SWBS 800, Technical Services, includes only technical support for change orders, etc. after non-recurring activities are complete as well as production engineering development.
