Benefit Analysis of SPC Panel SP-3 Project and Evaluation of SPC Panel SP-3 Management and Administration

Abstract

This Task has investigated the benefits derived from the projects sponsored during the past 15 years by Ship Production Committee Panel SP-3 on Surface Preparation and Coatings (SP&C) under the National Shipbuilding Research Program. It has found that those projects with the greatest practical application in the shipyard community have yielded the most value, such as training courses of blasters and painters. A close second has been those projects developing basic SP&C data, such as coating performance, not available else where and needed to support the generation or modification of specifications and standards, and without which there is little hope of meaningful improvements in such requirements. This Task has also assessed the opinion of the using community on the administration and management of Panel SP-3 itself. It has found that the current practices (under Panel Chairman James K. Kuecker, NASSCO) have been well received and should be continued. It has revealed the need to increase the number of attendees and participants from shipyards, in order to strengthen the shipyard occur on Panel efforts. It has also identified several important topics of near-future consideration by Panel members.
