      <title>MULTISKILLED WORK TEAMS AT FINNISH SHIPYARDS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/456653</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper presents the results of a study jointly conducted by the Finnish shipyards in 1992-93.  The study surveyed the possibilities of applying group work at the zonal outfitting of ships. Six zones of two sister ships, multipurpose icebreakers, were outfitted using both conventional and work group technology.  The study revealed that there is a great potential to shorten the throughput time and increase productivity.  When multiskilled independent work groups are implemented correctly, a decrease of 50% in throughput time and an increase of 20% in productivity can be expected.  Synchronization and management problems can also be decreased.]]></description>

      <title>DEVELOPMENT OF ACCURACY CONTROL COMPUTER PROGRAMS DATA MANAGEMENT AND CAD/CAM INTERFACES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/387739</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As U.S. shipyards adopt zone oriented ship production techniques, the need for employing an accuracy control system has become apparent.  There are a number of repeated functions to be performed following the establishment of the system.  Included in these are the establishment of actual normal distributions of work performance by work station (including shrinkage and distortion), development of control charts and sampling plans for each work process and, the writing and analysis of variation merging equations.  Each of these steps involves the organization, management and handling of large amounts of data, and then requires the analysis of this data.  Given these considerations, the application of the computer offers a tremendous opportunity for facilitating the establishment and operation of an accuracy control system at a U.S. shipyard.  The goal of this research is the development of the necessary, user- friendly computer software to support an accuracy control system. The software package will be flexible to ease its adaptability to any shipyard.  It will include all required analysis subroutines, a data management system and the links to vessel and work process definition for inclusion in a CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing System) system.  The software will work interactively, and will provide distributions of variation and control charts as standard outputs.]]></description>

      <title>ACCURACY CONTROL: A GUIDE TO ITS APPLICATION IN U.S. SHIPYARDS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/398283</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Research was carried out at the Tacoma (WA) Boatbuilding Company for the purpose of providing a basis for U.S. shipyards to initiate and operate accuracy control systems. This report presents a detailed study of accuracy control planning, execution and evaluation. The results shown are based on actual on-site planning, measuring, and analysis of the stern sections of hulls of the U.S. Navy T-AGOS vessels under construction at Tacoma Boatbuilding Company. This experience was used to present a more general picture of accuracy control applicable at any shipyard for any vessel construction project. Zone oriented design packages developed at Tacoma Boatbuilding Company provided the basis for the development of accuracy control plan sheets and check sheets, as well as for the establishment of vital points.]]></description>

      <title>LNG TRANSPORT IN PRESTRESSED CONCRETE SHIPS AND BOTH SAFETY AND ECONOMY AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE EXAMPLE OF A 128,000-CU-M-TANKER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53231</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article deals with a new way of transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a prestressed concrete ship with self-propulsion, in which the insulated tanks are integrated into the hull, as distinguished from the conventional LNG carrier design (single hull concept).  Operational and safety advantages of this novel design approach are discussed, and it is shown that the construction and operating costs of the prestressed concrete carrier are lower than those of conventional ships of this type.]]></description>
