The National Shipbuilding Research Program, Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium, Paper No. 22: Implementation of a Practical Planning and Production Control System in Small and Medium Sized Shipyards

Le résumé fourni par la source

Small and medium sized shipyards (200 to 1000 employees), particularly those growing rapidly from hands-on control by a few managers to a size requiring delegation of authority to superintendents and foremen, find that they have all the management control problems of the major shipbuilders but without the staff and administrative resources to easily cope with them. Typically we find the small shipyard operating at best with a schedule covering a few key events, no integration of engineering output with production needs, an accounting system which accepts cost charging to few accounts but without budgets or work packages to control scope, schedule and manning, drawings without bills of material and every supervisor in the company participating as a material expeditor. Although the depth of detail required in a small shipyard planning and production control system will vary with product complexity, personnel strengths, and contract construction period, the basic elements of a sound system are markedly similar and cannot be ignored without incurring loss of performance,
