North American Shipbuilding Accuracy Phase II

Abstract

This report was developed as part of the National Shipbuilding Research Program SP-4 Panel initiative to increase the understanding and use of accuracy control methods and standards in the U.S. shipbuilding industry. This project was undertaken to continue the research started under the North American Shipbuilding Accuracy Phase I (1986) project. The main purpose of this project was to update the steel-fabrication and assembly-process accuracy documented in the Phase I report, and to compile accuracy figures or new processes which were not addressed in the previous project. The completion of this project will provide benchmarks for shipyards to assess their current level of accuracy, as well as standards against which future process improvements can be measured.
