Improved Design Process Part of the Ship Producibility Program of the National Shipbuilding Research Program

Abstract

The primary objective of this task as part of the National Shipbuilding Research Program was to reduce the cost of shipbuilding in US shipyards. Specifically, it was intended to develop an improved ship design process with increased emphasis on producibility. Early results led to the consensus of all concerned that no improved process, per se, would result from this study, but that a number of significant improvements in the design process were possible. The design process as used herein includes the engineering and design work necessary to develop the preliminary and contract design plans and specifications and the construction drawings and data to build the ship.
