The eight United States Naval Shipyards commenced opera-
tion under the rate stabilization concept in 1976. Rate sta-
bilization refers to the use of annually predetermined rates for the billing of customers for work accomplished in the
shipyard. A primary objective of rate stabilization was to
provide improved planning and budgeting to the customer and
the shipyard.

more than offset the disadvantages. 'Indications are that the concept of rate stabilization is working and that the shipyards are learning to work within the program. It is important that, once stabilized rates have been set, major changes in workload at the individual shipyards do not occur.,

ABSTRACT The eight United States Naval Shipyards conmmenced operation under the rate stabilization concept in 1976. Rate stabilization refers to the use of annually predetermined rates for the billing of customers for work accomplished in the ship-yard. A primary objective of rate stabilization was to provide improved planning and budgeting to the customer and the shipyard. The objective of' this thesis was to assess the impact of rate stabilization on the U. S. Naval Shipyards. Conclusions are that the overall operational, planning and programming advantages provided by rate stabilization more than offset the disadvantages* Indications are that the concept of rate stabilization is working and that', the shipyards are learning to work within the program. It is important that, once stabilized rates have been set, major changes in workload at the individual shipyards do not occur.
