The National Shipbuilding Research Program. World Class U.S. Shipbuilding Standards. Task 2: The Management Plan. Part 4. The Plan - Processes, Phases and Criteria
Abstract
The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP), in an effort to revitalize commercial shipbuilding in United States, is funding research projects designed to provide better tools and insight to world class commercial shipbuilding practices. The need for a complete set of comprehensive US National Commercial Shipbuilding Standards was the basis for this project. It entailed visits to several world class shipyards, by a team of experienced shipbuilders, to look at their standards and standards producing organizations. The objective of this task was to establish a management plan (process) for the identification, evaluation, development and maintenance of an effective, internationally recognized set of commercial standards applicable to the US shipbuilding and repair industry. This report will provide a summary level analysis of the project findings along with the management plan. The plan will identify: where to start, national vs. Shipyard standards, partnerships (with nationally recognized standards organizations) and typical methods/organizations to be implemented for the establishment and maintenance of national and shipyard standards programs.
