Using the methods of System Dynamics, the mechanisms that lead to program instabilities in cost, schedule, and effectiveness are examined. As a case study, the structures and resultant trends that impacted the design and acquisition of DDG 51 are evaluated. General process structures are addressed including design interactions, schedule, resources, and allocation. Specific dynamic relationships between cost thresholds, design effort and schedule are examined to show the ability of modeling to capture dynamic trends and predict results.
