Methods Improvement Workshop for the Shipbuilding Industry
Abstract
The objective of this project was to train production supervisors, superintendents, non-production supervisors, and managers in analytical problem-solving techniques. The SP-8 Industrial Engineering Panel of SNAME recognized that many of the United States shipyards did not have in-house industrial engineering capabilities. In order to assist the yards in developing analytical techniques, a methods improvement program was developed specifically to train shipyard management in these missing skills. A series of workshops were presented near shipyards to make it available to as many possible. Participants learned: * To foster an attitude of organization. * Analytical techniques to areas. shipyard supervisors as promoting change in their pinpoint low * Steps to improve production operations. * Steps to sell and implement methods ideas.

The student evaluations indicated that it was well-received and more workshops were desired by the industry on the subject. They also suggested that workshops on other industry studies would benefit the U.S. shipyards.
