In order to address the problems inherent in a trade oriented production organization, and to develop a work force which will perform efficiently and effectively in a zone construction environment, NASSCO bas proposed to develop semiautonomous, multi-skilled work teams. The teams will be made up of a stable membership, be well trained, have multiple skills, and will have some degree of control over decisions necessary to complete work in their areas. One supervisor, rather than individual trade supervisors will be responsible for completion of work within the area. Employee participation will be encouraged to the greatest possible extent. Although ultimate authority for decisions within the work area will remain with the supervisor, it is envisioned that the traditional role of supervision will shift in emphasis from boss to facilitator acting as liaison between the work team and other parts of the organization.

Management has been defined as the universal process of accomplishing work through others. It consists of handling and making decisions on many conflicting requirements at the same time. Because of this, management analysts try to eliminate the complexity by conveniently dividing it up into functions and then discuss each function and the relationships between them. The four functions that are always listed are: Planning, Organizing, Directing, and Controlling.

This report will document National Steel and Shipbuilding Company's (NASSCO's) efforts to develop self-managing, multi-skilled work teams. The objective of this effort was to develop and test a new production work force organization corresponding to the technical requirements of product-oriented work breakdown structure, otherwise known as zone construction. NASSCO was awarded a grant from the Human Resource Innovation Panel (5P5) of the SNAME Ship Production Committee in order to explore the benefits of this type of work force organization.

This paper presents the experience of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in applying zone 1ogic and outfit planning concepts to the overhaul, modernization, and repair of an aircraft carrier, three cruisers, and a submarine. Procedures were developed to involve design, production, testing, and material personnel in the overhaul process from preplanning through completion of the production phase, with the resulting synergism and open communication. The systems approach was rep1aced with zone by stage sequenced work packaging with as much work as possible done off the ship. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and photogrammetry were applied to enhance preplanning and off-ship work.

Stephen Sullivan, Bethlehem Steel Corporation and David Case, Industrial Union of Marine Shipbuilding workers of America, Local 33, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Sparrows Point Yard Employee involvement structures in this country, in any industry, are still in the developmental stage, not having achieved nearly the degree of uniformity as their counterparts in Japan and Europe. This paper will describe the conditions which stimulated consideration of an employee involvement program, the development of Groundrules for its operation, the process of orientation and training which proceeded its introduction, successes and failures in its operation, and projections for its role in the future of the Sparrows Point Yard.

Descriptive and evaluative information is reported on two multi- shipyard training programs: (1) Tidewater Maritime Training Institute, Norfolk, Virginia, and (2) Cooperative Apprentice Training Program, Seattle, Washington. The programs differ greatly in origin, goals, organization and operation; yet both successfully met local requirements. Both programs are described relative to their: (1) program history, (2) legal basis, (3) objectives, (4) funding, (5) geographic area, (6) staff and facilities, (7) trainee input, (8) curriculum, and (9) hiring and retention of graduates. The detailed descriptions are presented for two reasons. First, a useful evaluation must be based upon knowledge of specifics. Second, one goal of this project is to provide guidance to shipyards in other locations.
