The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1995 Ship Oroduction Symposium. Paper No. 6: Build Strategy Development
Abstract
The 1985 NSRP "Design For Production Manual" (SP-4,1986) describes of a Build Strategy basis for improved shipbuilding performance through front end involvement of all de elements and better communication. A number of shipbuilders are known to have used the approach However. the extent of its use and the experience of the users was unknown. To remedy this situation the SF-4 Panel conceived a project to determine; (l) how widely "the Build Strategy approach" was known and used by U.S. shipbuilders, and (2) a suitable Build Strategy framework with examples of its use for two typical ship types. This paper summarizes the performance of the project and briefly describes the findings of the U.S. and foreign shipyard surveys and visits, the required prerequisites for use of a Build Strategy and benefits from its use. It also includes the contents list for the proposed Build Strategy framework.
