Overview of Panel SP-4 Design Production Integration 1985
Abstract
Panel SP-4 is seeking ways to assist U.S. Shipbuilding attain and maintain a worldwide competitive position in Time-Cost- Quality. The work of the panel addresses the detail design and planning efforts, integration of those efforts into the production process and the tools involved. During the past year the panel pursued its goal through the publication of a report on "Software Tools for Shipbuilding Productivity", completing work on a "Design for Production Manual" to be published this quarter and the continuation of efforts on systems of classification and coding and computer aided process planning suitable for the shipbuilding environment. In addition, work has just begun on five new projects involving a broad spectrum of shipyard disciplines. Also, another year's work has been laid out involving four shipyards and two universities. Finally, the panel is establishing interfaces and developing a program on Navy-Industry computerization intended to address the findings and recommendations in the National Research Council's report, "Toward More Productive Naval Shipbuilding".
