The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1987 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 32: Multi-Skilled, Self-Managing Work Teams in a Zone Construction Environment

Abstract

This report will document National Steel and Shipbuilding Company's (NASSCO's) efforts to develop self-managing, multi-skilled work teams. The objective of this effort was to develop and test a new production work force organization corresponding to the technical requirements of product-oriented work breakdown structure, otherwise known as zone construction. NASSCO was awarded a grant from the Human Resource Innovation Panel (5P5) of the SNAME Ship Production Committee in order to explore the benefits of this type of work force organization.
