The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1988 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 3B: Zone-Oriented Drawings for Life Cycle Management
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study which was conducted to determine whether unit-oriented construction drawings, which are being developed and used by shipbuilders who are using modern zone-oriented, or modular, construction techniques, will satisfactorily substitute for system-oriented detailed arrangement drawings in the Navy's life cycle maintenance management process. The study concluded that modular construction drawings will provide the necessary data in a more usable format,. and thus are the preferred approach for the Navy s use. However F the study also identified several additionally needed features that are not now being provided in unit-oriented drawings, but which must be included in order to meet the needs of planning and maintenance activities during the operational life of a ship. A number of other observations about drawing use and maintenance are provided.
