Abstract
Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 4: The Role of Operations Research in Shipbuilding. Recent evaluations of the shipbulding industry indicate that a substantial reduction of potential revenues, both by industry and individual shipyards, will occur during the next decade. Foreign competition, limited military procurements, a tightening of the commercial market, and the economy of the country in general are all affecting the order books of all U.S. shipyards. Realizing that increased technology can be of use to improve these shipbulding conditions, the authors prepared a short presentation for the recent REAPS Symposium which was held in San Diego in September, 1979. This paper describes the basic content of that presentation.
