The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1990 Ship Production Symposium, Paper No. 7A-2: SEAWOLF Producibility II: Transition From Design to Production

Abstract

SEAWOLF Producibility initiatives have been presented to past Ship Production Symposiums. The technical content of these papers was based on work accomplished during the SEAWOLF Detail Design effort and articulated the point of view that the SEAWOLF Producibility Program was an important step in advanced ship production. The lead shiv of the SEAWOLF Class started construction in late 1989. The opportunity now exists to validate a number of the elements of the design for production. Electric Boat Division, as Lead Shipbuilder, has the opportunity to review a number of the specific initiatives, such as Digital Data Transfer, Sectional Construction Drawings, Planning and Sequence Documents, Computer Integration of information processing and the combination of SEAWOLF products that support improved work control. The method of approach is to describe the SEAWOLF producibilitv element developed during detail -design and then assess the benefit to the shipbuilding process.
