Standards. Volume 1. Report (Technology Transfer Program)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Japanese (IHI) concept of Standards and their application in the actual working environment in IHI shipyards. As in the many other areas of study within the Technology Transfer Program (TTP) the objective of the study was to define possible beneficial and cost-saving elements or methodologies which could be instituted in Livingston and in other medium-size shipyards in the United States. It was originally intended that the examination of standards would be performed in a number of separate areas within the various tasks i .e. design and material standards in Task 2 process and cost standards in Task 4 and tolerance standards in Task 5. Early findings however revealed that the Japanese approach to standards like their approach to planning and production control -is that standards-and standardization are key features of their overall management philosophy and not merely aspects of different areas of activity. The separate components of the study of standards were therefore brought together to be studied as a single system.
