Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality circles have been found to improve productivity an average of 12% in 3 to 6 months in a controlled research pilot study performed by Business Innovations, Inc. for the U.S. Department of the Navy. Human relations and job satisfaction were also found to improve within a few months of starting quality circles at four companies. Quality circles (QC's) have been adopted widely by U.S. and Japanese industry and are increasingly finding acceptance in U.S. industry, including shipbuilding. The average return on investment for quality circles is 6 to 1. QC's are a simple, but effective, technique for problem solving which involves employees and increases motivation, communication, and productivity. They are a phenomenon of group dynamics not quality control techniques. Implementation of quality circles needs to be carefully planned and should involve all levels of management and employees. An alternative to quality circles at foreman and management levels is "productivity teams". These involve more sophisticated training and the use of industrial engineering techniques. Productivity Panels and quality circles area low cost, high return investment for shipyards to cut costs and turn around companies with lagging sales due to decreased international competitiveness.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid 1960's the Computer Aided Ship Design and Construction project office, located in the Naval Ship Engineering Center, was chartered to apply computer aiding techniques to all phases of the naval shipbuilding process. After the aerospace industry's success in developing a productive wiring data system and an in-depth NAVSEC sponsored study at three designated naval shipyards of the cabling/wiring flow process during installation design, it was determined that a similar system should be developed for naval ship design and production. Because there are significant differences between wiring an aircraft and wiring a ship, a direct conversion from one application to the other was ruled out. In 1965 the Westinghouse Electric Corporation was selected to develop a system of computer programs for processing the flow of electrical and electronic cabling/wiring information used in ship construction. This system was to address the entire process of installation design of equipment on board any Navy ship. This included, such functions as cable routing, hanger selection, penetration design, planning and estimating supporting documents and the equivalent of all the necessary wiring plans. The C/W System is now being implemented at Norfolk and Long Beach and is scheduled for implementation in the other naval shipyards. This system is the first of what the author hopes will be a large number of computer aided ship design and construction programs to be developed and implemented by the Naval Sea Systems Command. It is expected that by applying these systems deliberately and diligently in an integrated shipyard modernization program, the total benefits of electronic data processing can be obtained, thus producing a better ship faster and at a lower cost.

Book excerpt: In 1962, the first Quality Control Circle was launched in Japan under the auspices of the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE). Today it is estimated that one worker out of six in Japanese Industry participates QC Circle. The foremost authority in the world on Quality Control, Dr. Juran, estimates that in the first 10 years of the QC Circles movement, Japanese industry saved an estimated $25 billion. The figure today wou over a $100 billion. na Joe the d be The dollar figures and improvement in quality, however, are only the most visible aspects of what has happened in Japan. The heart of the QC Circle program is a highly trained workforce engaged in identifying and implementing opportunities for improving their own immediate working situation, and the product which they make or service which they provide. This comes about in small groups or Circles of workers which have volunteered to be trained in QC Circle techniques. These Circles select and work on problems or opportunities for improvement, and then with management approval implement them. These small groups of 5 to 10 workers are normal work groups and usually include the supervisor or foreman (who is also a volunteer).

This book was released on 1977 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and Engineering for Automation and Productivity in Shipbuilding (REAPS) today is a shipbuilding industry/government (MarAd) cooperative development program aimed at improving shipyard productivity through the development and implementation of computer and manufacturing aids for shipbuilding. The program is organized as an element of The National Shipbuilding Research Program, which is administered by the Ship Production Committee of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. The program itself is organized as follows. The most important group within the program is the REAPS Representatives. These are the participating shipyard personnel from production management, the loft and design who make the program work. At meetings of the Representatives, MarAd and the Program Manager (held four to five times yearly), the Representatives jointly identify problem areas of mutual concern, discuss alternative solution strategies and formulate development project descriptions and implementation plans.

Paper No. 10: A National Coalition for the Shipbuilding Technology Program written by and published by . 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planning environment in American shipyards has undergone a change[of technique and attitude with the upswing in use of computers. Traditional planning mechanisms have given way to PERT networks and sophisticated data collection and reporting computer systems. This transition has not been as successful as was intended as evidenced by the planning and scheduling problems faced by many of these computerized yards. Data processing was moved from the basic accounting arena into operations research and massive production-oriented systems which has diluted the planning effort. This is caused by planners which have not evolved from production, a planning attitude that the computer can solve all problems. and management's inability to recognize the shortcomings of computer software. Technology is available to assist the shipyard with total planning and complete ship's plans and schedules. However planning. in itself, must be adapted to use this computer technology and not be driven by it.

Paper No. 1: Reducing Production Man-Hours Through Design Office Procedures - Structural-Designer-Fabricator written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shipyards in this country have spent a sizable amount of money to modernize their methods of fabrication to increase construction. The shipbuilding industry is a labor intensive business based on small orders of ships that does not allow for total automation in the near term, if ever. One area of a shipyard that has minor or limited changes is the structural design office. The manual drafting of working drawings is basically the same as the methods used in the 1950's. A number of yards have restructured the working drawing to assembly type drawings. This is a major change assisting in the construction of the ship, but is still limited in scope. The present method does not allow for an orderly progression into the application of computers. The development of working drawings to assist construction is-poor and this stagnation has restricted the design office from converting drawings to computers. The problem stems from false economy values. The idea that a limited budget for the development of working drawings will increase the yard's profit margin is a false one. Every effort, or person hour, used in design should have a direct savings in production manhours. The goal of the designer's output should be a necessary and direct part of the construction program. Many design offices may not even realize that they are not only reducing costs, but are driving them up due to poor detailing. (A complete study of the working drawing process should be made objectively by design, production and planning people). This paper may give the basic outlines for consideration. Thomas P.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initial zone technology implementation at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard (PNSY) in 1986 set the stage for one of the most significant shifts in culture and repair philosophy ever witnessed at a public naval shipyard. Attempting to fundamentally change the way that the shipyard conducted business forced senior and middle management to completely understand the dynamic and interrelatedprocessesthatwere utilized to perform depot level work. Through the Philadelphia Quality Process (PQP), this understanding was achieved and changes that were necessary to shift from a Ship Work Breakdown Structure (SWBS) to a Product Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS) began.

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.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The total design and production of a new product is particularly a problem for large projects, for example special purpose ships and offshore structures, where a close co-operation and control is demanded by owners, classification societies and officials in general. In today's situation, lacking as it is in new orders, the builder is often forced by the terms of the contract to spend only a very short period of time on design activities. Shortening the leadtime for design and work preparation is as very important for the ability of a company to compete. Preferably this shortening of lead- time must not induce extra costs or be at the expense of product quality. Based on our experiences in the use of EDP as well as our plans for further development, we will focus on what has been done and what may still be done to strengthen our competitiveness in this area.

Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium, Paper No. 11: Economics of Computers in Shipyard Production Control written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private shipyards are under heavy pressure to improve productivity. So are the naval shipyards. Like the private shipyards, naval shipyards are focusing on improved production planning, scheduling, labor/progress data collection, and industrial engineering as the main thrust of their productivity improvement programs. Unlike the private shipyards, however, the naval shipyards are drawing heavily on the use of computers to support these functions. One project, the subject of this paper, is of particular interest since a computer is used to integrate planning, scheduling, work-in-process tracking and labor collection functions with engineered labor standards to provide a closed-loop production control system for a key production shop at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. This system achieved operational status during the spring of 1980. A complete economic history of its initial economic justification, development and operating costs and preliminary indications of payback are now available. Since the design of this system makes it quite appropriate for private shipyard use, the data included within this paper should be of interest to those concerned with the economics of computers in private shipyard production control functions. Results of this project are correlated with the objectives and results of the National Shipbuilding Research Program.
