This book was released on 1985 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to address the problems inherent in a trade oriented production organization, and to develop a work force which will perform efficiently and effectively in a zone construction environment, NASSCO bas proposed to develop semiautonomous, multi-skilled work teams. The teams will be made up of a stable membership, be well trained, have multiple skills, and will have some degree of control over decisions necessary to complete work in their areas. One supervisor, rather than individual trade supervisors will be responsible for completion of work within the area. Employee participation will be encouraged to the greatest possible extent. Although ultimate authority for decisions within the work area will remain with the supervisor, it is envisioned that the traditional role of supervision will shift in emphasis from boss to facilitator acting as liaison between the work team and other parts of the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NSRP 1985 Ship Production Symposium was held in Long Beach, California on September 11-13, 1985. It was sponsored by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the Ship Production Committee. The thrust of the program was "Moving Ahead With Implementation of Advanced Technology" and focused on the ongoing projects of the panels of the Ship Production Committee. Each panel was responsible for one of the symposium sessions and selected the 2-4 papers to be presented within that session. An additional session was added to cover Navy Production and Ship Repair. The symposium was a project of the SP-9 Education Panel and was financed through SP-9 with financial contributions from each of the other panels. It is one of many projects managed and cost-shared by The University of Michigan for the National Shipbuilding Research Program. The Program is a cooperative effort of the Maritime Administration's Office of Advanced Ship Development, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. shipbuilding industry, and selected academic institutions.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management has been defined as the universal process of accomplishing work through others. It consists of handling and making decisions on many conflicting requirements at the same time. Because of this, management analysts try to eliminate the complexity by conveniently dividing it up into functions and then discuss each function and the relationships between them. The four functions that are always listed are: Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years the Navy has been methodically improving its organization and procedures for ship engineering. These improvements have resulted in an expanded role for the planning yard. The planning yard's two primary functions are ship alteration engineering and configuration identification. Responsibilities have been clearly defined and more discipline has been incorporated into the process for both of these functions. These improvements are in the early stages of implementation and detailed procedures will continue to evolve. Requirements for ship acquisition programs have been refined to reflect these improvements. We have learned that there is a need for clearly assigned responsibility in engineering, that configuration identification must be an integral part of engineering, and that logistics support must be an integral part of engineering.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good morning and welcome to the 1985 Ship Production Symposium. This symposium, which is an annual event, is a vital part of the overall National Shipbuilding Research Program. Our theme this year is 'Moving Ahead With The Implementation of Advanced Technology". There are many individuals responsible for-the success of this symposium - not all of them present here - and only two will be noted. Now, Howard thinks I am going to call his name but he will remain a nameless Texan and the two I will honor are Wendy Barhydt and Mary Casto. We have an impressive program this week; and this morning we have three exceptional keynote speakers. It would be an error not to mention the symposium attendees. If you will look to your left or to your right, chances are good that you will see someone that is "somebody". Historically.the attendees at these symposia represent the overwhelming majority of shipbuilders in this country and some oversees. The individual attendees would easily fit into anyone's compilation of a "Who's Who in the American Marine Industry."

This book was released on 1985 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deep depression of the shipbuilding industry in the United States has brought into sharp focus the fact that broad and sweeping changes must be rapidly implemented if the industry is to survive. The factors leading to the decline of U.S. shipbuilding are many and complex and there are no quick and easy solutions. However, it must be recognized that many of our traditional manufacturing procedures and techniques are prominent among those factors. Although some of the industry's problems may be outside the influence of technical societies, manufacturing procedures and methods are not, and are, in fact, already being dealt with through the Society's participation in the National Shipbuilding Standards program. The task is not easy, however, since there has been considerable indifference, if not outright resistance, to standardization by marine equipment suppliers, particularly deck machinery manufacturers.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two decades, the U.S. Navy has undertaken significant projects in the computer aided design, manufacturing, and service life support areas. A few of the those most related to the shipbuilding programs are listed in Table 1 along with the phase in the ship's life cycle they were primarily supporting. CASDAC (Computer Aided Ship Design and Construction) was the grandaddy of them all, dating back to the late 60s when the Navy was designing and building its own ships. The project's goal was to develop software for doing early stage design, through contract design, and detail design at the naval shipyards. They labored under the dual burdens of expensive hardware and relatively unfriendly software development environment, with clumsy operating systems, occasional need for assembly language programming, and early compiler limitations ions. Nevertheless, many programs that are still with us today began during that era, including: SHCP (Ship Hull Characteristic Program) ; SSDP (Ship Structural Design Program) ; HULDEF (Hull form Definition); and SDWE (Ship Design Weight Estimating). The state of CASDACVs progress by the early and mid 7Os is well described in references [1] and [2]. The monument al CASDOS (Computer Aided Structural Detailing of Ships) was developed under CASDAC's sponsorship and actually used to build 6 LCUs for the Army and for Saudi Arabia. Over half of CASDAC's efforts were oriented toward shipyard product ion software, including electrical wiring and fluid piping systems programs. In 193l, long after the end of new ship construction at the Navy yards, CASDAC was subdivided into two distinct programs, the CSD (Computer Supported Design) programs, carrying on the ship design software development, and portions of the MANTECH (manufacturing and technology) program for advancing industry's efforts to improve shipbuilding productivitiy through automation and technology.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Descriptive and evaluative information is reported on two multi- shipyard training programs: (1) Tidewater Maritime Training Institute, Norfolk, Virginia, and (2) Cooperative Apprentice Training Program, Seattle, Washington. The programs differ greatly in origin, goals, organization and operation; yet both successfully met local requirements. Both programs are described relative to their: (1) program history, (2) legal basis, (3) objectives, (4) funding, (5) geographic area, (6) staff and facilities, (7) trainee input, (8) curriculum, and (9) hiring and retention of graduates. The detailed descriptions are presented for two reasons. First, a useful evaluation must be based upon knowledge of specifics. Second, one goal of this project is to provide guidance to shipyards in other locations.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SNAME Ship Production committees SP-8 Panel on Industrial Engineering's primary objective has been to increase productivity in the Shipbuilding Industry. Since the Panel's conception, it has introduced a number of Industrial Engineering techniques to improve the utilization of our two most important resources, men and machines. One can not function without the other, and only through proper management will optimum productivity be achieved. One of the elements of good management is to encourage and pursue Methods Improvement at all levels of the organization. Cue to the size of our product, we are led to believe that in order to improve, a major Methods change must occur. To some extent, this is true--such as the introduction of Group Technology, which has an effect on our entire organization. Changes like this must occur; however, we must not forget the importance of productivity improvement of each individual task, which, when combined has a tremendous impact on the total productivity picture.
