The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Initial Implementation of IHI Zone Logic Technology at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard

Abstract

Group technology or Zone Logic Technology has been successfully Implemented In severe U.S. shipyards for new ship construction. This Technology was originally conceived In the U.S. It was greatly refined by the Japanese and recently (beginning in 1978) reimported to the U.S. The technology replaces traditional system-by-system work with work organized zone-by-zone and by grouping similar work together with zones. This grouping of jobs enhances efficiency.
