The U.S. shipbuilding industry now confronts grave challenges in providing essential support of national objectives. With recent emphasis on renewal of the U.S. naval fleet, followed by the defense builddown, U.S. shipbuilders have fallen far behind in commercial ship construction, and face powerful new competition from abroad. This book examines ways to reestablish the U.S. industry, to provide a technology base and R&D infrastructure sustaining both commercial and military goals. Comparing U.S. and foreign shipbuilders in four technological areas, the authors find that U.S. builders lag most severely in business process technologies, and in technologies of new products and materials. New advances in system technologies, such as simulation, are also needed, as are continuing developments in shipyard production technologies. The report identifies roles that various government agencies, academia, and, especially, industry itself must play for the U.S. shipbuilding industry to attempt a turnaround.

Download Project Report: Stimulating the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry to Improve Productivity Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
During the period from October 29 through November 16, 1979 a U.S. team of six individuals with broad shipbuilding experience visited six Japanese shipyards. The intent of this visit was to identify and examine low investment, high return Japanese shipbuilding technology. The objective of this project is to stimulate U.S. shipbuilders to adapt and adopt these advanced techniques in their yards to improve productivity. This report reflects the consensus findings and conclusions of the U.S. team and recommends several specific projects for the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP). Based on observations in the six Japanese yards visited, the following items are cited as the primary reasons for their high productivity: (1) (2) (3) (4) The utilization and application of the logic and principals of zone planning and construction. The development and use of a very effective material classification scheme for definition, procurement, and control of material. The extensive use and continual development of high quality shipbuilding standards and modules. The rationalized development and use of effective cost/manhour reducing computer aids. While these techniques and methods are of unquestioned value in achieving productivity improvements, it is also important to note the human aspects of their application. Japanese shipbuilding personnel are highly educated, trained, motivated and experienced managers and workers, and, therefore exhibit a very high level of individual productivity.

"Abstract: U.S. shipbuilding productivity is significantly less than that of Japan and some European countries. The traditional view has either minimized the importance of the difference in productivity between U.S. and the best foreign shipyards, or focused on the lack of opportunities for U.S. yards to build in long series. As a result of research since 1977 - much of it conducted under the auspices of the Maritime Administration National Shipbuilding Research Program - a new view of the productivity difference has developed. Several studies have related this difference to new methods and systems of shipbuilding develope abroad. Based on a review of the literature, this study describes these methods and systems and examines obstacles to their adoption in the U.S. Implications for public policy are discussed. Some current efforts of U.S. shipbuilders to improve productivity and Maritime Administration and Navy programs of technology promotion are referenced."--Technical report documentation page.
