The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1995 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 7: Generic Build Strategy - A Preliminary Design Experience

Abstract

Prom the very inception of the Preliminary Design phase of the U.S. Navy's new amphibious assault ship, which at the time was designated only as the LX, there has been an emphasis on generating a design which is producible; one that requires a minimum of redesign by the building yard and which can be built efficiently using modern ship construction techniques. This emphasis resulted in establishment of a Producibility Task Manager as a member of the UC Preliminary Design Team and in the creation of a Product-Oriented Design And Construction (PODAC) Working Group. The functions of this Group were to mimic a shipyard production planning effort and to interact with the Design Team on a regular basis. This paper describes the results of their efforts, including the development of a Generic Build Strategy (GBS) and numerous Design for Producibility improvements during the LX Preliminary Design Phase.
