Increasing Efficiency Through Outfit Planning (The National Shipbuilding Research Program)

Abstract

Outfit Planning provides a means to increase productivity and schedule enhancements through zone outfitting, group technology, and prefabrication. Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has gained an understanding of outfit planning through publications by the Maritime Administration's National Shipbuilding Research Program. In an attempt to increase efficiency, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is using outfit planning methods to overhaul, alter, and repair U.S. Naval Ships. One project targeted for outfit planning is the forward end electronic package on submarines. This paper will describe Puget Sound Naval Shipyard's efforts to use outfit planning concepts in developing work packages for the forward end ship alterations (shipalts)
