The issue of early deliveries and their consequences for
the Navy are new concepts which depart rather significantly
from customary government thinking, where late delivery is
the primary concern. The government normally accepts
supplies when they are delivered, even if earlier than
required. This thesis investigated whether or not early
deliveries do in fact occur, and if so, whether they are a
significant problem for the government.
