تجاوز التكاليف والنفايات (Cost Overrun - Contract Inefficiency & Waste)
Definition
ADSB's newbuild and engineering segment generated only AED21.91M gross profit on AED381.56M revenue (5.7% margin). Industry benchmarks for shipbuilding show 8-12% gross margins on Navy newbuild contracts. The margin gap suggests cost overruns and waste. Historical context: ADSB restructured its cost base and disposed of a floating dock to reduce annual costs by AED40M, indicating severe cost control issues.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated 2.3-6.3% margin gap on newbuild contracts = AED8.7M to AED22.9M underutilized gross profit per H1 2025 (annualized: AED17.4M to AED45.8M); disposal of floating dock = AED40M cost reduction target
- Frequency: Continuous across active contract portfolio
- Root Cause: Manual compliance defect tracking (rework cycles); Emiratisation quota friction (Nafis mandatory labor quotas increase scheduling complexity and overtime); inefficient change order processing
