Good morning and welcome to the 1985 Ship Production Symposium. This symposium, which is an annual event, is a vital part of the overall National Shipbuilding Research Program. Our theme this year is 'Moving Ahead With The Implementation of Advanced Technology". There are many individuals responsible for-the success of this symposium - not all of them present here - and only two will be noted. Now, Howard thinks I am going to call his name but he will remain a nameless Texan and the two I will honor are Wendy Barhydt and Mary Casto. We have an impressive program this week; and this morning we have three exceptional keynote speakers. It would be an error not to mention the symposium attendees. If you will look to your left or to your right, chances are good that you will see someone that is "somebody". Historically.the attendees at these symposia represent the overwhelming majority of shipbuilders in this country and some oversees. The individual attendees would easily fit into anyone's compilation of a "Who's Who in the American Marine Industry."

The NSRP 1985 Ship Production Symposium was held in Long Beach, California on September 11-13, 1985. It was sponsored by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the Ship Production Committee. The thrust of the program was "Moving Ahead With Implementation of Advanced Technology" and focused on the ongoing projects of the panels of the Ship Production Committee. Each panel was responsible for one of the symposium sessions and selected the 2-4 papers to be presented within that session. An additional session was added to cover Navy Production and Ship Repair. The symposium was a project of the SP-9 Education Panel and was financed through SP-9 with financial contributions from each of the other panels. It is one of many projects managed and cost-shared by The University of Michigan for the National Shipbuilding Research Program. The Program is a cooperative effort of the Maritime Administration's Office of Advanced Ship Development, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. shipbuilding industry, and selected academic institutions.

SNAME Panel SP-C on Marine Industry Standards is one of ten technical panels operating under the SNAHE Ship Production Committee. Priority shipbuilding research. and development standardization projects are funded jointly by the Maritime Administration, -the U.S. Navy, and the maritime industry. Projects which focus upon the publication and implementation of national standards are coordinated closely with Committee E-25 on Shipbuilding of the American Society for Testing and Materials. The results of these standardization projects have marine industry-wide applications that result in direct cost and time saving benefits in the construction and repair of Naval and commercial vessels.

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.

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.

The deep depression of the shipbuilding industry in the United States has brought into sharp focus the fact that broad and sweeping changes must be rapidly implemented if the industry is to survive. The factors leading to the decline of U.S. shipbuilding are many and complex and there are no quick and easy solutions. However, it must be recognized that many of our traditional manufacturing procedures and techniques are prominent among those factors. Although some of the industry's problems may be outside the influence of technical societies, manufacturing procedures and methods are not, and are, in fact, already being dealt with through the Society's participation in the National Shipbuilding Standards program. The task is not easy, however, since there has been considerable indifference, if not outright resistance, to standardization by marine equipment suppliers, particularly deck machinery manufacturers.

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.
