The Implementation of a Computer Scheduling System Within Naval Shipyards.

Abstract

This thesis addresses the challenge of implementing a Fundamental Automated Scheduling System into the Naval Shipyards. The problem considered is that of how to most effectively integrate a new computerized system into the existing shipyard arrangement. The author first profiles the mission, organization, duties and constraints of a Naval shipyard, then develops the background information concerning the requirements and system description of the new scheduling system. The discussion then shifts to a description of the implementation plans developed by three Naval shipyards and the required management considerations. The research concludes with a summary of recommended implementation approaches and suggestions for further research. Keywords: Shipyard scheduling; System implementation; System networking.
