The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1987 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 27: Shop and Zone Administration and Management: The Transitions to Zone Outfitting in Repair and Overhaul at Puget Sound Naval S.Y.

Abstract

This paper discusses Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's implementation of Zone Outfitting in Repair and Overhaul (ZORO). Four problems are responsible for past poor performance: funding by system, planning using key-operations which are too broad, scheduling by event, and inflating cost by inaccurate historical expenditure records, These problems are discussed and addressed, To solve the interactive problems, a new product management structure is being examined, The system is based on a Project team called an Outfit planning Group, Using composites, facilitated by a CAD model, this team of people is responsible for packaging and sequencing the work, The result is a sequenced work package that is scheduled in an incremental time line to support work to be accomplished,
