Zone Outfitting in a Canadian Great Lakes Shipyard (The First Four Years)

Abstract

This paper traces the introduction of Zone Outfitting and Outfit Modules in a Canadian Great Lakes shipyard following ideas put forward at a Washington, D.C. seminar in 1981. Advances made-during construction of five 736' bulk carriers are presented showing the increase in outfit material incorporated in steel units before erection and the rapid increase in size of machinery modules from 3 - 4 tons to some of 40 tons. The different attitudes to these changes by senior management, production supervisors, drawing office and mechanics are briefly examined.
