The Economics of Shipyard Painting, III

Abstract

The objective of Phase III of "The Economics of Shipyard Painting" was to develop a system for the Paint Department which would provide shop supervision with timely information concerning cost overruns. In many cases, shop supervision had very little knowledge concerning work order performance, especially on broadly-scoped work orders covering a long time span. The need existed for accurate information of unfavorable cost performance at an earlier stage of production. This information was needed not only to explain cost overruns, but to facilitate midstream corrections.
