PROJECTED MARKET The shipbuilding program will continue to throw off business op- portunities for many types of com- panies. New DOD Industry Forecasts Exhibit 8 of the Complete August Update shows projected demand to be directly or indirectly generated in specific industry sectors by the Navy shipbuilding program. These numbers are based on the FY 1986 budget request and accompanying five year shipbuilding plan. They update data shown on pp. 63-64 in the IMA May report. Use of These Data Readers should treat these projec- tions with caution. Their accuracy depends on the assumptions used in the I/O modeling technique. It is recommended that a copy of "De- fense Purchases: An Introduction to DEIMS" be obtained and studied. This booklet describes the method- ology used to make these forecasts. It can be obtained from the DOD Office of Industrial Base Assess- ment, 5203 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia 22401. 5. REVISED NAVY POINTS OF CONTACT Two changes have been made in the business-end of the Navy orga- nization and some new names ap- pear among the key contacts. Naval Material Command Eliminated For years the Naval Material Command has been regarded an un- necessary organization layer. In April the issue was resolved by its elimination. Many of the Material Command functions were absorbed into a new organization—the Office of Naval Acquisition Support. Each of the five systems commanders now re- port directly to the Chief of Naval Operations for progam execution, and to the Secretary of Navy for policy. 34 Circle 253 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
