United States Shipbuilding Standards Master Plan

Abstract

This Shipbuilding Standards Master Plan was developed using extensive surveys, interviews, and an iterative editing process to include the views and opinions of key persons and organizations involved in developing, managing, and using standards in marine-related industries. Eight essential initiatives were identified that, when acted upon, should significantly enhance the competitiveness of U.S. shipbuilders through better use of standardization. They are: 1. Establish a communications center for shipbuilding standards. 2. Become more involved in international standards. 3. Gain more domestic involvement in the shipbuilding standards community. 4. Refine the process for identifying and developing new shipbuilding standards. 5. Coordinate existing standards. 6. Convert the U.S. shipbuilding industry to the metric system. 7. Develop a marketing strategy for the plan. 8. Adopt or convert existing global standards for domestic use.
