Abstract
Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 18: Shipbuilding Evaluation and Analysis System. The objective of this paper is to discuss the elements of the computer model Shipbuilding Evaluation and Analysis System (SFAS) concerning: how SFAS is used in the maritime Administration (MarAd) management decision making process; the capabilities of the model; and the interactive relations between the model users and the shipyards. SFAS is a group of computer modules designed to provide evaluations and analyses pertinent to all phases of the shipbuilding process. The modules provide various reports and graphical information. The graphical information is in the form of workforce curves and scheduling charts. The following are typical SFAS applications: workload analyses of shipyards; assessment of building position. availability and facility utilization; mobilization base analyses; depicting the requirements for critical materials in shipbuilding determining shipyard capabilities; 5-year shipbuilding forecast; budget for U.S. ship construction program with and without CDS; determining labor and training requirements in shipbuilding; analyses of U.S. ship repair and reactivation capabilities; and carriage capacity for specified ship construction programs.
