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.

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 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the experience of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in applying zone 1ogic and outfit planning concepts to the overhaul, modernization, and repair of an aircraft carrier, three cruisers, and a submarine. Procedures were developed to involve design, production, testing, and material personnel in the overhaul process from preplanning through completion of the production phase, with the resulting synergism and open communication. The systems approach was rep1aced with zone by stage sequenced work packaging with as much work as possible done off the ship. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and photogrammetry were applied to enhance preplanning and off-ship work.

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 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."

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 1982 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American shipbuilding management and planning has become a topic of increasing discussion in recent years and various proposals for change have been advanced. Many of these propose adoption-of certain techniques and approaches successfully used --in other major shipbuilding countries such as Japan and Korea, where shipbuilding management is based on organizational, decision making, and operating structures and procedures founded on quite different cultural backgrounds, human relations, and traditions than those found in the U.S. While some of the techniques and approaches found successful in those countries may be transferrable, it must be recognized that the environment in the U.S. cannot be changed in the short run. This makes successful application of some of these methods difficult. Factors which make Japanese and Korean shipbuilding competitive include value engineering, quality circles, labor incentives, high productivity manufacturing processes; rationalized ship design and production, effective organization, labor relations and flexibility, good supplier and customer relations, and effective production planning management and control. There are some factors which are distinctly different, such as the lack of adversity between shipbuilder and client on one hand and management and labor on the other hand. There is a general recognition and acceptance in these countries that adversary relations and potential litigous actions hinder achievement of ship production efficiency and on schedule low cost (and therefore price) delivery. Similarly most supplier, client, and labor issues with shipbuilding management are resolved by various informal approaches with little if any delay. This is quite different from the generally formal approach used in the U.S.A., where procedure, documentation, and even conflict resolution methods are often defined.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant innovations of a human resource nature have been introduced to international shipbuilding since the mid-60's. In the past few years, a number of U.S. yards have experimented with some of these practices (quality circles, semi-autonomous work groups, multi-skilled workers). This paper draws together information from several sources in an attempt to identify those underlying principles which have taken various forms in many shipyards in a number of countries. The expression "human resources" is heard more frequently these days in American business circles; not only in the titles of business administration courses, but also in professional and department titles within industry. In some cases the content of such coursework and industry billets is much the same as was earlier encompassed under the heading of "Personnel" (e.g. recruitment and selection, training, salary and benefits administration, industrial relations, etc.). What is new, however, is an additional dimension hinted at in this more ambitious label "human resources", one that has to do with achieving the most effective use of the workforce. "Nothing new there," one might protest, since the traditional functions of Personnel are directed to this end as are certain elements of Industrial Engineering and every other management function that touches at all upon the use of the workforce. But there is a difference, and it has to do with an expanded view of the concept of "use of the workforce." This new dimension reflects the view that an organization's workforce is not simply one other element of production, but is one of the company's most important assets -- a resource that has not been sufficiently tapped under traditional management practices and organizations of work.
