A savings study on dual sourcing in the Defense DepartmentFalk, Chris J. 09 May 2009 (has links)
This paper examines the issue of whether dual sourcing in the Defense Department leads to cost savings for the government. Past analysis has shown that second sourcing results in significant savings.
Pricing data for four separate previously competed missile programs is examined. Major findings of the paper include: *All missile programs examined exhibited losses from dual sourcing. *Production Rate impacts play a significant role in explaining the difference in pricing among contractors involved in dual sourcing. *The amount of projected savings is sensitive to the contractors responsiveness to increases in output.
The major implications of these findings is that a thorough analysis of the costs and benefits of dual sourcing in a particular program should be considered before introducing a second source. / Master of Arts

The effects of competition on defense contractor pricing behaviorMaxwell, Melinda Ann 01 August 2012 (has links)
This study investigates the effects of competition on the pricing behavior of defense contractors. Prior research in this area has indicated a potential for significant price reductions associated with competition.
Pricing data for five dual source subsystems of the AIM-9M Sidewinder missile were examined. Key findings of the study include:
• The introduction of a second source led to increased price reductions by the first source;
• The first source exhibited a greater price sensitivity to lot quantity changes than the second source:
• The second source was immediately price competitive with the first source; and,
• Each subsystem showed evidence of gaming. / Master of Arts

An evaluation of defense contracting based on transaction cost theoryIncorvia, Joseph H. 08 April 2009 (has links)
This study investigates the use of the transaction cost paradigm, as a framework, for evaluating defense contracts and exploring problems related to defense contracting. The study shows that defense contracting is beleaguered with bounded rationality and uncertainty problems, and furthermore, that bounded rationality and uncertainty can lead to opportunistic behavior within defense contracting. The study shows, in particular that adverse selection, moral hazard, and hold-up problems exist within defense contracting.
Based on the results of this study the transaction cost paradigm can be used as a framework for evaluating defense contracts and related problems. The results also indicate that hold-up problems and moral hazard problems may be minimized by using proper contracts or acquisition strategies. Based on the case study in Chapter III there does not appear to be a contractual solution to adverse selection problems. / Master of Arts

The South African military aerospace industry: An overview of the special defence account more commmonly known as 'The South African Arms Deal'.Collison, Kurt Ryan. January 2007 (has links)
<p>The paper focuses specifically on the South African Military Aerospace Industry as most of the weapons procured under the arms deal were military aircraft. Taking into account the numerous social needs of South Africa, the purpose of this paper is to inter alia try to establish the rationale behind the South African government's decision to to purchase an array of military weapons from foreign suppliers at an initial cost of almost thirty billion rand. In order to gain a better undrstanding of the topic, the author gives a brief overview and history of the South African Aerospace industry.Furthermore, an examination of the politics of the transition from apartheid to democracy and how this affected the aeropace industry is given.</p>
