The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the IREAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 12: Standards for Production Planning and Control in Shipyard Shops. Volume 1
Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of establishing meaningful work order labor budgets for use in a shipyard pipe fabrication shop. Two methods are described for developing planning or scheduling standards. The first builds upon an existing base of detailed fabrication labor standards, which may be engineered standards or measured standards. The second uses sampling and statistical analysis to develop the planning or scheduling standards in situations where there are no existing labor standards. The first approach was applied in a seven month pilot project sponsored by the Maritime Administration through the Ship Producability Research Program. The procedures and results of this pilot project are described. The primary result was a fifty percent increase in the perceived capacity of the shop, with no additional investment in equipment or labor.
