This book was released on 1996-05-22 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. shipbuilding industry now confronts grave challenges in providing essential support of national objectives. With recent emphasis on renewal of the U.S. naval fleet, followed by the defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders have fallen far behind in commercial ship construction, and face powerful new competition from abroad. This book examines ways to reestablish the U.S. industry, to provide a technology base and R&D infrastructure sustaining both commercial and military goals. Comparing U.S. and foreign shipbuilders in four technological areas, the authors find that U.S. builders lag most severely in business process technologies, and in technologies of new products and materials. New advances in system technologies, such as simulation, are also needed, as are continuing developments in shipyard production technologies. The report identifies roles that various government agencies, academia, and, especially, industry itself must play for the U.S. shipbuilding industry to attempt a turnaround.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Maritech Program, the project, titled "Process Improvement Testbed for Shipyard Constructions, Conversion and Repair," is applying state-of-the-art agile manufacturing and process improvement technology to ship construction, repair, and maintenance. DARPA's Agile Manufacturing Program has sponsored the development of a prototype suite of software tools called ProcessTOOLS, for use in modeling, scheduling, enactment, and simulation functions necessary for enterprise management. ProcessTOOLS is unique, however, in that all the functions are integrated into a single package and utilize a common representation. Using processTOOLS, a shipyard maintains an accurate model of its operations, utilizes advanced scheduling techniques to assign process steps to shipyard resources, manages the execution of processes according to schedule, accurately monitors the status of processes in real-time, and simulates the shipyard forward in time form its current state to assess the impacts of a contract award, to forecast the effects of changes in internal processes, and to evaluate the probable delivery date of an order. By modeling a repair or construction job prior to bidding, ProcessTOOLS facilitates more detailed planning during estimation, which results in a more realistic bid. By providing continually updated status during production, Process TOOLS expedites just-in-time deliver of labor, material, and equipment to the job. Event information is archived as it happens during production to form a rich source for accurately measuring performance and realistically supporting future estimates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book elucidates the potential of the shipbuilding industry for initiating economic development, which eventually leads to enhancing the prosperity of a nation. This is explained by intrinsically linking the macroeconomics of the nation with the microeconomics of the shipbuilding industry. The economic and commercial spin offs by the shipyard to the various industries have been analysed and calculated. An attempt has been made to trace the illustrious past of Indian shipbuilding from the Bronze Age, through the ancient kingdom period, to the present times, in the backdrop of Indian maritime history. The operational requirement of commercial as well as defence shipbuilding has been analysed to assess the available potential market space for the Indian shipbuilding industry. Lessons from history help to formulate future strategies. In pursuit of this, the book investigates the global trends in commercial shipbuilding since the industrial revolution period to date; the success stories of leading shipbuilding nations viz.UK, USA, Japan, Korea and China have been analysed. The benefits accrued by these nations through shipbuilding have been summarised. The strategies adopted by each of these countries to reach the pinnacle in shipbuilding have been examined and the salient features relevant for India have been identified. Productivity measurement in shipbuilding has been examined and the problems with the current system have been highlighted, along with solutions. This book suggests the usage of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a mathematical linear programming technique, as an appropriate tool to measure total productivity as well as profitability. The various ways of improving profitability in shipbuilding, by way of cost-cutting techniques, along with some Indian case studies have been explained in the book. Keeping the ‘Indian Maritime Agenda 2010-2020’ vision document in the backdrop, a strategic appreciation of the Indian shipbuilding industry has been undertaken using the SWOT, the Matrix and the Scenario analyses. Based on these analyses, strategies have been formulated for all the stakeholders who can influence the Indian shipbuilding industry. The book then identifies the need for an alchemist leader, who can harmonise all the stakeholders and thereby propel the Indian shipbuilding industry towards achieving the long-term goal of creating a prosperous India.
Download or read book Application of PC Based Project Management in an Integrated Planning Process written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shipyard working on several projects must schedule thousands of interrelated activities. For a shipyard to remain competitive, it must have a production planning system that optimizes the yard's overall use of facilities and manning. This paper discusses the development and implementation of a PC-based Integrated Production Planning System (IPPS) which serves as a tool to assist planning organizations in developing, updating, and revising schedules and associated manning, facility, and material utilization reports. Under this task, a PC-based IPPS has been developed which serves as a tool to assist planning organizations in developing, updating, and revising ship production schedules. The system will also create and update manning, facility, and material utilization reports. The scope of the system developed is limited to the ground assembly, outfit, join, and erect operations. The "Project Report" describes the data required by the system to produce its outputs. The report explains the system development philosophy and gives an overview of the schedule generation system. To demonstrate the use of the system, data for a sample ship is given and a schedule developed based upon this data. The User's Manual serves as a reference for shipyards wishing to develop a PC-based IPPS. The software included in this package is not intended to be a turnkey system. For an IPPS to work for a particular shipyard, the shipyard must modify the coding so that the system will conform to the yard's facilities and methods of operation. The IPPS should not be viewed as a computer system; it is a production planning system that makes use of computer tools. Simply obtaining and installing the software will not give a shipyard an operable system. Developing an Integrated Production Planning System is a significant task. However, once developed, the IPPS is a valuable tool that will assist shipyard personnel in making effective production decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly being recognized as the basis of a wide variety of human diseases. Providing an authoritative update on our current knowledge of mitochondrial medicine, this text draws together world authorities from various fields to present general therapeutic strategies, as well as the treatments presently available in different specialties - thus making it essential reading for clinicians involved with the management of patients with mitochondrial diseases. A unique work, this text covers a range of specialties, including cardiology, ophthalmology, otology, nephrology, gastroenterology, hematology-oncology, and reproductive medicine, and does not focus exclusively on the more commonly known neurologic conditions. An accessible, user-friendly text, it also presents translational concepts of mitochondrial biogenesis and genetics in vignettes related to specific questions raised by the disease under discussion, rather than concentrating on basic science, which can often intimidate clinicians. This pioneering work is primarily directed to a clinical audience who are interested in the diverse and diagnostically challenging clinical presentations of mitochondrial diseases and their pathophysiology.
