Problem Solving and Training Guide for Shipyard Industrial Engineers
Abstract
The purpose of this Guide is to assist Industrial Engineering Department employees to solve shipyard problems more effectively. The Guide does this by organizing or codifying information so that a shipyard problem may readily be related to a source of assistance. This assistance is provided by several indexes, a bibliography, a training guide, a curriculum, and a list of schools. The Naval Shipyards have been ahead of the commercial yards in hiring and training degreed Industrial Engineers. The majority of the degreed Industrial Engineers in commercial yards are to be found at the larger yards although that picture seems to be changing. Most shipyards rely on skilled technicians promoted from the trades and upon outstanding people from other disciplines. These people have performed very well, combining their native intelligence with waterfront knowledge to accomplish many industrial engineering tasks. It is to be hoped that the Guide will be specially helpful in supplying useful training to these technicians.
