This book was released on 1981 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of an approach to a U.S. Navy sponsored shipbuilding technology program is discussed. An approach is recommended, and a detailed project plan for a shipbuilding technology program is proposed. The U.S. Navy has announced its intention to initiate a major program for the enhancement of shipbuilding technology in the United States. The objectives of this program are to improve the quality, cost, and construction time for future U.S. Naval Ships, and to strengthen this country s shipbuilding industrial base. This motivation is heightened by the Administration plans to increase the Navy s fleet to 600 ships by 1988. This program is currently budgeted as a six-year, $80M effort, though its format has not been defined. Previously the Naval Sea Systems Command had contracted with SofTech, Inc. to assess Air Force initiatives in manufacturing technology with respect to Navy needs. Both the Navy and the Air Force have established programs to promote computer-aided manufacturing which have differed markedly in budget, in approach, and in industry involvement and acceptance. SofTech was directed to consider the applicability of the ICAM (Integrated Computer-Aided Manufacturing) Program approach to a Navy STP (Ship building Technology) Program. This paper recommends an approach to the planning, management, and integration portion of a national, participative Shipbuilding Technology Program (STP). These recommendations are SofTech s, and are not to be construed as government policy. They are based on SofTech s initial analysis, and on pertinent comments received from individuals in the Navy and the shipbuilding industry.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 24: Group Technology and Automated Process Planning, a Change in Management Strategy. The trend toward increased customization is increasing the problems associated with batch manufacturing, both in design and manufacturing itself. Group technology helps to solve these problems and is thus attracting great interest. The benefits of group technology in such applications as design retrieval, design standardization, standardization of machine tool routings, automated process planning, and machine tool investment can bring about dramatic savings in the multibillion dollar manufacturing industry. Three or four years ago, only a handful of companies were interested in group technology. Today, many companies, including a number considered to be highly conservative, are seriously considering or have adopted group technology systems. This increased interest is a reflection of a growing awareness of the potential benefits of group technology, particularly for batch manufacturing. These advantages can apply to both design and manufacturing.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ship Production Committee is made up of representatives from approximately twenty-four shipbuilders plus the American Bureau of Shipping, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy Research and Development and, of course, the Maritime Administration whose budget is the backbone of this vital project. We poll the industries to see who would use the results of a research project. The more yards that would use, the higher the priority; the higher the potential saving, the higher the priority. We then list the projects in priority sequence, see how far the budget reaches for the year, and submit those to the Maritime Administration for approval. When approved and a shipyard agrees to act as sponsor, a suggested contract is worked out between the sponsor shipyard and the Maritime Administration. The most valuable result of this program is that the shipyards are talking to each other at the working level for the betterment of our industry.

Book excerpt: In March of 1976, the decision was made at Port Weller Dry Docks to purchase an in-house computer system to expand our use of computer programs and to update our present systems. At that time two systems were in operation at Port Weller. The accounting and labor distribution programs were executed on a Litton-McBee paper tape oriented computer system, and the production planning and control, numerical control, and design programs were executed on a UNIVAC 1108 time sharing system using a remote batch terminal for data transmission.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unified Hull Definition System was designed by the U.S. Navy so that the digital computer could be used to assist in the fairing process. CADCOM, Inc. was tasked by MARAD and the Navy with transferring this technology to the U.S. shipbuilding industry. This transfer involves four steps: (1) enhancing the program to make it meet the needs of the industry, (2) generating four standard versions of the program, (3) creating documentation, and (4) conducting training seminars for potential users. The program does not replace the conventional methods of designing hull forms; rather, it functions as an interactive tool which allows the designer to retain control over the surface he is defining. He still performs his traditional procedures, but he performs them more quickly and accurately than before.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 2: The Shipbuilding Technology Transfer Program. One of the most innovative ideas to come along in the shipbuilding industry in a very long time is the one that inspired the Shipbuilding Technology Transfer Program (TTP). The idea evolved from a long and tedious but finally successful attempt by Levingston Shipbuilding Company (LSCo) to secure a contract for the construction of five 36,OOO DWT dry bulk carriers. These ships were to be built to a modified design of the Future-32 class ships previously designed and built by Tshikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (TNT) of Japan. Because the design was to be modified to provide two medium-size diesel engines instead of the single engine in the original design Levingston contracted with TNT for on-site design engineering support. It was at this point when the idea of transferring Japanese production technology occurred to the Levingston management.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration directed NASA to provide "for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and results thereof." Assuming that the research and development costs supported NASA's primary space and aeronautics missions, then any secondary use of this technology for other non-aerospace purposes would provide an additional benefit to our national economy. The the exploration of space and the advancement of aeronautics generates innovations in almost every field of science and technology and, therefore, provides us with the broadest possible technical base to stimulate progress in areas not even remotely connected to the original research. NASA has established a national network of dissemination centers to serve industry by searching what has become the world's largest data bank of technical information. Technical information that has been provided through this network has resulted in many useful applications and new products. Spinoffs of technology have ranged from medical devices for the handicapped to patching materials for street maintenance and countless applications in between.
