The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 21: Development of Effective Computer Capabilities by the J. J. Henry Company

Abstract

On April 2, 1980, the J. J. Henry Company, Inc signed an agreement with Cali & Associates to use the SPADES system of computer programs to enhance its preliminary contract and detail design service for its clients. As a design agent for the shipbuilding industry, J. J. Henry has been making use of computers for many years; however, this latest step involves a major extension of its production services to computer-aided design. The paper briefly discusses the new SPADES service, the facilities installed, the training required, and the problems in getting the new service into full production on a very tight schedule. Also included is a listing of the application programs available via its terminal facilities using a variety of off-site computer network services.
