The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Process Modeling to Improve On-Board and On-Block Outfitting. Task 9: Final Report

Abstract

In recent years NASSCO has made considerable progress in improving their performance in ship outfitting. This improvement is leading towards achieving a level of performance, which will be competitive in international commercial shipbuilding. The implementation of on-block and on-unit outfitting techniques, together with the development of workstation-style production information and the introduction of multi-skilled work teams has significantly reduced the outfit production man-hours and cycle time. This improvement has been achieved through a wide variety of highly focused production oriented projects. In support of this project, NASSCO is building on these achievements to create a firm foundation of performance necessary to achieve international competitiveness.
